@pietervdvn@en.osm.townI sometimes get the question why I'm not allowing anonymous contributions to #OpenStreetMap via #MapComplete .
I've gotten the question again today, so I decided to write down why I'm not adding nor planning
this: https://github.com/pietervdvn/MapComplete/blob/develop/Docs/Reasonings/NoAnonymousContributions.md
@pietervdvn thanks for sharing your points so clearly and constructively
@pietervdvn if it helps to blame the OSMF ;), there's the historical precedent of editors that used proxy accounts getting blocked. Wheelmap gets a free pass mostly because it focuses on one tag and hasn't attracted complaints.
Is that new SSO code that Microsoft contributed useful for MapComplete?
@grischard yes, but I'm with the OSMF here. Even of there was no precedent, I'd still not allow this for the other reasons mentioned.
