[OSM-talk] Problems with the wiki (was "Why OSM and not another collaborative mapping service?")

[Bryce Nesbitt]

The wiki's decreasing level of edit energy, combined with it's
increasing reach is a problem.
Wiki text now appears directly in dozens of automated editing and QA tools.

With JOSM style presets, there's a filter between activity on the wiki
and what gets wider coverage.
With iD style automatic import, the wiki becomes the documentation.

That combined with a rouge user driving others away from the wiki
really sets up a bad situation.
