You are claiming things as excluded but in some cases your quoting completely different posts, or responses to different arguments, sometimes from different people.
Nothing about what you are saying gives context changes what you said.
This is still the most relevant part.
Nothing about this changes your prior statements from part 1. This is just you pivoting after realizing attaching CoMaps to Organic Maps reputation was a bad argument.
This is the part were actually debating over. Everything else you put is irrelevant. If you don’t think that, you misunderstood what I was saying. It doesn’t matter anyway, Arguing over our interpretations of another users post is off topic and honestly does not change much regardless.
Physical maps are basically available everywhere they have always been. They are probably even more widely available since you can purchase them online now. Yes, its less convenient then an app.
My case is not really against recommending CoMaps; my point is more that I have yet to see a compelling case for recommending CoMaps.
I can’t quite understand the argument that the track record of Organic Maps is a reason to remove it, yet the same track record which you say applies to CoMaps is a reason to recommend that.
tell me one good reason why Organic Maps shouldn’t be replaced by CoMaps (and no, beeing listed on an app store with 33 apps, which doesn’t accept new apps is not a good reason)
one might not recommend a project, because it has no track record. like the project only existed for a certain amount of time and it has to exist for longer. in that sense CoMaps existed for a long time, because it contains part of the history of Maps[.]me and part of the history of Organic Maps
one might recommend a project, because it is a fork of another project. like the new project was forked from the old project for certain reasons. in that sense CoMaps was forked from Organic Maps and Organic Maps before from Maps[.]me. in both cases with good/valid reasons
so when i read this:
and this is the good case (the rest is irrelevant):
i would argue that the track record of Organic Maps (the reasons why it was forked) might be good reasons for delisting it and the track record of CoMaps (the project itself goes back to Maps[.]me) might be enough track record as a project to list it
For the same reason that Vichy France isn’t the same as the modern fifth French Republic. Organic Maps’ bad track record is reflective of their dictatorial leadership and not reflective of the rest of the community (now CoMaps) who opposed said bad actions. I don’t see what’s so hard to understand.
