[OSM-talk] Directed Editing Policy

[Wiklund Johan]

I don’t read it as being optional now:

"You must set up, or have someone set up, a Wiki page" ... "This page must truthfully describe" ... "a unique hashtag (to be used in the "hashtags" field of changesets, or another form of changeset tagging) for linking and"

Perhaps the bullet should say "any unique hashtags (to be used in the "hashtags" field of changesets, or another form of changeset tagging) for linking and" instead. That would simply make it mandatory to list what hashtags you are using, rather an imposing a rule that every activity must be hashtagged. Just like the non-standard tools are optional by having the "any" at the beginning.

Just as a reminder, the proposed policy leaves you the choice of either creating a user account that you link to your company/activity ("all edits made with this account are in this context"), *or* tagging individual changesets.

Good catch ;) - there are likely to be a number of style and language issues that we'll have to sort out once the contents are agreed but I'll make sure to flag this.

Bye
Frederik
