Thank you. I found out that self-hosting is not so straightforward, because I wanted to use old Thinker board and it looks that running Python in Docker on ARM is kind of ugh. I am still working on it.

The damn project is maintained, and I should release damn server 1.0.0 because indeed it is stable. However, there are no new features. But I do not think new features are needed.

And thank you for the support – currently the best way to support the damn project is to use it and provide feedback.

Thank you! I am working on the fifth year’s diary for the damn project and found out I didn’t even reply you. Sorry.

The freedom you are writing about may in consequence limit the freedom of the people using that code (and the code derivatives, like executables).

Therefore, I prefer this definition of freedom regarding the software.

And sure there is a parallel with Paradox of tolerance.

I have no doubts! OSM admins are awesome and are proving that day by day. I am just confused by ndrw6’s approach to their diaries (can read in RSS but not on web…)

Why just .? I read your diary in RSS reader and I support the proposal.

Well, not exactly. Free software is usually understood in the meaning of the freedom, not as free beer.

Let me elaborate on your pasta example: you have a community of pasta enthusiasts who try to discover the perfect pasta, making significant progress, but still missing the last ingredient. Then, any restaurant can take your’s community open-source recipe, put the last ingredient, kept that last ingredient secret, and start selling their pasta.

How is that possible? Well, open-source licenses do not care about the freedom of the restaurant customers, particularly about the freedom of knowing what is inside their favorite pasta.

Nejsem si ale jistý, jestli se TM úplně hodí pro sbírání dat – TM slouží pro zamykání konkrétní oblastí, aby na oblasti v krátkodobém horizontu nepracovalo více lidí najednou.

(Vytvoření více oblastí na základě seznamu bodů, nikoli čtverců, je ale jednoduchá změna.)

I think it’s more about using different editors, different settings and of course education of new mappers, not about the database schema…
