[OSM-talk] Misrepresentation of OSM by HOT?

[Joseph Reeves]

Hi all,

The previous thread, IIRC:
https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/osmf-talk/2015-November/003556.html

Version 2 of the Task Manager had "a perfectly fine choice of name for this
kind of tool" [0], but I can't really see how V3 [1] is much different.

Cheers, Joseph
