@zverik ED == iD?

So your argument is that it is our fault, for some unclear reason, that the corporate QA tools were/are never made available to #OpenStreetMap

For example like the @linuxfoundation QA toolchain for the Overture Map Foundation?

Which BTW makes the OMF unforkable? A surprise from the LF, well actually not.

@simon @linuxfoundation No, ED = Every Door. iD was corporate-born. Half a million dollars. Not a miracle.

And it's absolutely not about opening their toolchains. It's that they had to create those toolchains in the first place.

Like, imagine a company creating a validation toolchain for Wikipedia. How and why and what for? For OSM, these questions have clear and immediate answers.

@zverik that comparison is, very, flawed as you know. Not only has the WMFs distribution model always been very different from OSMs, it has always been the major end user distribution point for its data, contrary to OSM.
