[OSM-talk] fixme=name

[John Whelan]

But then you're often talking about a HOT mapper who might not have done 
any mapping for three years.

I must confess when validating HOT projects if I saw a mapper had done 
something glaringly wrong and it was more than a week before noting the 
response rate to a changeset message was less than 1% I may have simply 
corrected the work.

I haven't been on the ground in Africa but I suspect the number of 
villages a kilometre apart connected by a one kilometre motorway is not 
high.  If have I reclassified someone's private motorway  I apologise.

I think we have talked around the subject enough and it should be left 
to the local mappers to decide what to do.

Thanks John
