  1. What is the reason for the law — is it connected with resisting Kurdish separatism (by taking control of mapped boundaries)?
  2. Do you think the government will try to exercise any control over non-Turkish contributors to OSM map data within Turkey?
  3. [Anyone] What are the best English-language sources (press, academic, etc.) to read about this?
  4. How can those of us outside Turkey support you?
