Openstreetmap.in do we really want to make this happen ?

Before you vote and start talking about it read the proposal document carefully , also the document is open for editing if you think the proposal is not ok you can either make changes to it or , you can make your own and bring it here for discussion .

@ishanchattopadhyay we are not here to discuss about the platform , its ok to agree and disagree but state which parts you do not agree and disagree . Better if you can write a proposal and present your case here.

You’ll be prompted to make a short statement about the reason for your decision. This makes it easy to see a summary of what everyone thinks and why. You can change your mind and edit your decision freely until the proposal closes.

one comment i heard a lot was why ? and how are you we going to sync our data from upstream ? There was no straight answer to this one . Also one feeling i got was like this is too much of repetitive work .

we are not here to discuss about the platform

I wasn't here to do that either. But when I was here, I realized that you run the show here and require every signup to be moderated by you. This is against regular culture of open community projects like OpenStreetMap. By requiring community members to join closed groups like Loomio, you are encouraging discussions to happen away from the community, which should be avoided at all costs. I suggest you use the OpenStreetMap wiki to document your proposal and use the mailing list for discussions.

Does anyone have an answer to the problem of data-sync? What happens if we set up osm.in? Can we easily continually update data from main OSM and re-sync our data back? Or do we, at that point, create a hard fork of the data and go from there?

I think its a bit dangerous to setup an instance until that question is answered.

(also, while I find loomio to be an interesting decision-making platform, I agree that this is probably better done on the mailing list).

@ishanchattopadhyay agreed to your mod point so whomsoever in on this group is made a mod , talking about mailing lists the discussions and talks keeps on going without owning things and getting things done , more over i wanted to check out this platform for these kinds of decisions . if you have noticed my vote and comment i am ok either way .

@ishanchattopadhyay let me clarify this proposal is not mine , its now open on mailing list , feel free to propose whatever you think is your take on this topic anywhere. again i am sticking to this platform to brainstorm.
