Data Team Guidelines

In addition to the rules that apply to everyone in the community, here are the guidelines the Mapbox team reiterates and adds for themselves:

1. We listen to the community. We are looking for your feedback on how to make a better map. Get any time in touch with any of our team members. For general feedback message Maning Sambale or Arun Ganesh
2. Quality is paramount. We hold ourselves to the highest mapping standards as documented on the OpenStreetMap Wiki or as established as common practice in the community.
3. Local knowledge first. Where in any doubt, the locally surveyed information prevails over remote updates.
4. We disclose all ongoing mapping efforts on the Mapbox mapping repository.
5. All full-time data team members will be listed here on this OpenStreetMap Wiki page and identified on their user profiles.
6. Where possible we use public tools for coordinating work, allowing anyone in the community to participate.
