Being a community - what does it mean
Dear Wazers,
When Waze started, it used the points system as a reward to attract editors. And it worked: many people are startled by gaining points. Soon a competition arised and the map developed quickly in some places. It was easy for those that started early, who didn´t get the throttling system and got promoted on the basis of points. But are these points a good measurement to promote people nowadays? If an editor is giving support worldwide, making new tools and scripts that helps other editors, which in turns helps the community to maintain the Waze map, wouldn´t that count for a promotion? Is edit count the only thing that matters? So a point hunter has more chance to raise in level than a developer working for all of us?
It is easy to grab a lot of points with the use of tools or scripts prepared by somebody else. That somebody else has to understand how each edit impact the driver. But the user only need to start the machine and go for points and get the rewards?
We, as a India Team, are trying to help each other. The number of edits is not important for the community. Each of us has different skills. Why not promote good style and way of supporting the community? That makes good editors too. Together we make a strong team.
On behalf of the India team,
Marcin
