Let’s try and not beat up our own people/communities. Remember than OSM was established because we wanted an alternative to expensive GIS incumbents.
In the same way that our founders were bold at the beginning, so is this NG project. Yes it might overstate it’s importance, engage in a way which you have issue with and likely make 101 other missteps but it’s coming from a within our own community and @NorthCrab is clearly passionate about what he is doing. That should be celebrated.
As an OpenStreetMapper of 10+ years, I am finding it interesting to see what ideas this sparks. Yes, encourage changes when needed* but recognise that there needs to be a balance otherwise we’ll kill off all ambition.
(*. For me the domain is not a hill worth dying on. On either side: forcing the NG project off the URL, or the NG project stubbornly staying on that domain).
