Ref Mick's last comment - a couple of thoughts / questions: 1) We will have an opportunity to shape tagging policy a little more tightly than the greater OSM tagging canon. I'm looking forward to that. Not saying we'll get to the right answer immediately, but we could start somewhere & see how it works.
2) What do people think about eventually enforcing/strongly encouraging use of certain tags - e.g. date-related, source, anything else? I'm thinking of simple JOSM rules/validations looking for the presence of tags. We could also put some rules directly into the API... - Jeff On Mon, Mar 4, 2013 at 4:28 PM, mick <[email protected]> wrote: > On Mon, 4 Mar 2013 16:07:09 -0400 > Rob Warren <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > > I'd like to get it to that point, especially in recording the changes > ... > > > I agree, we can never envisage the totality of uses for the data once it > is there nor the tools that will be needed.
