I dont understand what will change. I made small contributions to osm years ago using josm and i basically had to draw shapes using coordinate points to fit the space occupied by the buildings as seen in the satellite image. Are those not vectors? What do they mean here when they say vectors are coming to openstreetmap?

You accuse someone of all sorts of things, and never give them a fair chance to defend themselves through dialog. Tell me again how this is a fair aproach. Sounds like you just want to shut down someone for fear of them being right and you wrong.

I'm gonna listen to what he has to say and make up my mind.

Don't listen to them. First thing putin asked was "do you want a talk show or a serious conversation?" You don't need to agree with him but the whole interview was a reasonable and civilized attempt to show the russian perspective to western audiences.

I don't know the details on how to rehost wikipedia by myself, and also how to search and access unofficial wikipedia servers either. If this is all common knowlege for internet users, I am seriously lagging behind here. But maybe you are right and there really is no universal appeal for this, and overall people just prefer to see wikipedia as a single entity. But I think there would be benefits in federating wikipedia. Basically it becomes harder to take down information, and allows us to bypass wikipedia's own strictness and bias. I know there are wikipedia alternatives but I would like to be able to access different view points seamlessly in the same platform, just like it happens here.
