@karlos @weeklyOSM @openstreetmap@a.gup.pe @openstreetmap@lemmy.ml I agree with most of this. But it shatters the philosophy of many of the interests that control OSM. There are consulting companies and more that profit off OSM being difficult to use, and needing an insider expert to get map tiles or apps made. OSM would need to become a product oriented team with executive leadership and get away from being a semi anarchy that is only interested in mapping (which is excellent) and not in usability/proliferation
