How to search for changesets that have changeset discussions?

4

Hi,

How to search for only those changesets that had changeset discussions in a particular area.? If the area is been edited a lot, its difficult to search previous changesets in that area which had changeset discussions.

I wasn't aware that we have this discussion feature. I'm not sure if this is widely known and in use already?

I've seen it being mentioned on the British mailing list and German forum several times.

There's a tool by Pascal Neis showing latest changeset discussions: http://resultmaps.neis-one.org/osm-discussions I don't know if you can search by locations, anyway there aren't a lot of discussions worldwide.

that page shows at least 100 discussions in the past four days, I wouldn't call that "not a lot"

I mean that keeping track of what happens in a given area is not a difficult task using that tool, ex. France and Italy only had a single changeset comment in that span, Spain zero.

thanks Alecs01, can't search by locations though.

I see that it is possible to see discussions of last 7 days by country.
