[Talk-us] OpenLegend (SOTM Sprint Proposal)
For today's San Francisco SOTM Sprint, I'm writing to propose a design effort to bring together legends. The goal is to inspect each major map and build a legend, then combine those legends into a big cheat sheet. Then, inspect each editor and list the features it has presets for. The design effort would likely create an XML schema to represent the legend/presets for a particular design/editor. One future benefit is a mapper who's mapped a particular feature (say, cell phone towers) can see which map their results will go it. It could reduce pressure to make Mapnik do everything. It is also a good sprinty topic, in that it needs someone familiar with each target codebase.

Hi Bryce, I can help you with iD presets -- they live here: https://github.com/systemed/iD/tree/master/data/presets I encourage you to use a JSON format rather than XML. It'll be easier for web-based services to consume.

Here's what I've been using for POI+ https://github.com/davidchiles/osm-poi-editor-iOS/blob/master/Resources/Tags.json I've also been using JSON instead of XML. It was just as easy on iOS to use JSON as PLIST and both are much easier than some other XML format.
