Thank you for your detailed post, fredy.
And what was the problem during the last 5 years?
This is the problem of the system.
Everyone can upload senseless (telemetry) data, no one wants to review it.
But when it comes to points like satellites and transmitter database entries, the system says: “You are not trustworthy.”.
Without a guide or documentation (not even for reviewers) option 1 was bound to fail.
I’m pretty sure we can move back to this solution with a good documentation.
If we want SatNOGS to thrive, it must have trust in all its contributors.
