Hi Frederik Nice you join here, since we already talked little bit about this it's before.

"Polluting" sounds to me a little undifferentiated. Maintaining such a tag would support simplicity - and that's (another) core design principle. The proposal has a charme because it allows degrees of objects "mixing". To me the two use cases EXTERNAL and MERGE cover perhaps quite some ideas I have in mind or heard about (the cases IDENTICAL/INTERNAL are self-evident for the OSM community :->). Other question (to Jaak an all): How much development is already committed to this interesting project proposal? I'd like to experiment with aspects of the project in a semester thesis. => Any ideas what could be exerimentally implemented (like the OpenMetaMap API constrained to node/point/POI objects)? Yours, S. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
