Lost mappers project:

Current numbers as per 18:00 UTC 2012.03.13

1st lot of large mappers (> 100 highways created): down from 1014 to 742

~27% have agreed,
roughly 100k highways total improvement.

2nd lot of medium size mappers (> 40 highways created): down from 959 to 859

~10% have agreed

Still not good: Asia, Central and South America.

Essentially all of the mappers on the lists have received at least one e-mail, exception Polish mappers
(roughly 30 on the large mappers list) where we have not done anything yet.

5. Technical Rebuild

Rebuild group questions:

Rule test cases now exist, more folks need to look at them. Dermot will write to rebuild list and Simon will translate for German lists.

Exceptional changesets:

There is a specific case where a decliner had been apparently deleting existing nodes and ways then recreating them. We discussed whether we needed to get involved from a policy point of view.

6. AOB

Next Meeting:

Tuesday Mar 20th 11:00 PST / 14:00 EST / 19:00 UTC / 19:00 GMT(UK) / 20:00 CET
