I'm in agreement with Glen; it's a Good Thing for there to be a central, known,
and respected place for discussions on Open (source+data+collaborative
crowds) GIS in NZ. In my estimation the fact that the list has de-facto become
the NZ OSM coordination point is merely a historical artifact. My main concern
on the OSM side is that Kiwis interested in helping out be able to
find us. Hopefully
the OSM wiki section on NZ explains that well enough but I concede that someone
scanning through the list of OSM mailing lists might not discover us.
On the other
hand, we are a small community and if we divide our efforts both
streams may fail
to reach critical mass.
I'll second Glen to take over moderatorship, but if he doesn't want it
I'll do it,
although I promise to be a somewhat negligent moderator as spare time is in
short supply these days and I'm often in the field away from the 'net
for weeks at
a time.
regards & 3 cheers for everything we've accomplished on this list over
the last decade,
Hamish
