Hey everyone!
It is a pity, but I agree with the topic-starter. Waze HQ need to improve communication skills and services for getting in touch with the community, - which is the most valuable thing Waze has (IMO, of course). Ignorance and absence of reaction for complaints or suggestions strongly demotivates, especially basing on the volunteers' rights.
As for for the scripts.. everything is said. I guess, that devs know about how useful these are in WME. And I have always been wondering, why still any steps forward in implementing some fundamental scripts for mapping (like toolbox, place names, highlight, etc) in WME from the developers' side have not been made so far?
Oh, yes, there is a beta-WME too, but it could be used, to my mind, only for "peeping" what's new is gonna happen next and for mapping stuff like JBs or something that does not work in release. That's all, because the majority of scripts are down there.
As for the meetups... Well, "we map for meetups" (c) - don't you agree? We are all happy to meet each other once again and meet new faces too. It is very disappointing, when, sometimes there is no answer from the staff side for a long time, keeping in mind, that for now we need to announce our meeting plans before 4 months.
To conclude, I can say, that a lot of stuff is based on respect and appropriate treatment. Hope that Waze HQ gets the problem right. Community and all around it is the most unique thing here ever, so everyone engaged should try to save this valuable "heritage" we are all working on every free time we have for it.
All the best for you guys!
