[OSM-talk] spammy "survey" questions.

[gianfranco gliozzo]

Hi,

What if we ask not only to publish as open access the resulting work but
also to give back to the community all raw material?
We can create a section of the wiki to support researchers with a list of
all old publications and surveys.
Once they got involved in OSM we can unlock all previous surveys. I mean
all answers and questions. Researchers can then reuse, improve them for
their personal research objectives or update the older ones but they will
not ask the same basic questions again and again.

Bye

Gianfranco
