New Organised editing guidelines was proposed by DWG. I show my “negative” opition on that guidelines.

At first, I think the previous Directed Editing Policy was a good proposal. I like that. I really pay my respects to DWG’s works.

Most important point

• Scope is very vague. It could be applied to “mapping parties between friends” even it negate. I like the previous “Director/Directee” idea.
• Imports without any advance discussion are not acceptable. Use other service.

Previous Directed Editing Policy was better idea

• It says individual community members and organised editing groups are at same level playing field.
• must/should/may are properly used. I can easily understand which items are more important.
• Almost no duties for organised mapper/contributor/directee. Indicated duties are for general OMS mappers, those are not special for organised mapper.

Individual

• They are not meant to apply to community activities like mapping parties between friends or doing a presentation on OSM at a local club.
  -> The reason this guideline is not to applied to communitiy activities is not shown.
• any edits that involve more than one person and can be grouped under one or more sizeable, substantial, coordinated editing initiatives.
  -> I can’t understand this definition
• more substantial initiatives are expected to spend a more substantial amount of effort.
  -> What’s “substantial”? Does it mean “mapping parties between friends” is “insubstantial”?
• If the activity is a response to an emergency and no advance discussion is possible, the community should be informed as soon as is practical.
  -> No. Use other service. For example, uMap could be your solution.
• Contributors should respond to communication attempts made in good faith by other contributors.
  -> This duty is for general OMS mappers, those are not special for organised mapper.
• Any person or organisation whose actions affect the OpenStreetMap project has the duty to care for the project, and should respect the community’s consensus, mapping practices and guidelines.
  -> This duty is for general OMS mappers, those are not special for organised mapper.
• Edits to the map
  -> (I can’t understand why the name of this section is “Edits to the map”)
• People looking at individual changesets that are part of a organised mapping activity should be able to tell as soon as they look at a changeset.
  ->(I can’t understand what it means)
