They need to pay for 6 sysadmins. Thats not cheap, hope their funding model keeps up

@blackfire @Doudouosm I thought they said to do full 24/7 support, they would need 6, but that aren't able to do that, so they're gonna just aiming for 2 (incl the 1 they have already)

Thanks for posting to let folks know about it! I'm curious to see what the new strategic plan and project priorities are

I do hope they add moderators like the document mentions. I've had a bad interaction already that made me consider quitting contributing, and it seems like there's no accountability for people who bully others as things currently stand.

I'm surprised that you had a bad interaction. Do you mind sharing it? My experience has been very positive, even when I messed up.

I did a write-up on how I have been mapping sidewalks to help out someone locally who was just starting out, and some asshole decided to come berate us for mapping sidewalks as separate ways (as was already the standard in our area) and for following the OpenSidewalks schema. They wouldn't stop even after being asked multiple times.
