[OSM-talk] "local chapter" DWG

[Henning Scholland]

Hi everybody,

I prefer a single/global DWG, which deals with conflicts. To my mind a 
global authority is necessary to deal with several cases. Eg. 
boundary-disputes, language-disputes of names, global vandalism and so 
on. "Local DWG" wont be that objective in some cases and/or it's not 
clear to the users out there, which of the DWG's should be contacted.

For Germany I can say, that most cases are dealed directly between the 
mappers. If they can't find a solution most cases are discussed in 
community and will be solved (solution and reverting, if necessary). 
Only a very small part gets to the DWG. Such a in official structure 
should be prefered. Because it distributes the knowledge to a wider part 
of the community.

If there are volunteers, who wants to participate in the work of the 
DWG, let us (DWG) know. Write a mail to us introducing yourself a little 
bit and let us know about your DWG-relevant skills.
