[OSM-talk] weeklyOSM #382 2017-11-07-2017-11-13

Richard, in both languages, the main issue is the same. It says that the
discussion has restarted with the negative commentary, but skips the main
point - that the tool has been substantially reworked based on community
feedback.  It's like saying some people got rich without mentioning the
bank rubbery.  And it alleges that the tool is a "hidden mechanical edit
tool", (GTranslate) which is simply untrue - unless they are claiming that
existing tools are also that.
