[Tagging] Feature Proposal - Voting Extended - amenity=boat_sharing

2014-03-29 Thread nounours77
Hi everybody, As discussed in my earlier post, I think voting is important even for specific service tags to make them offical. Therefore, I extend the voting period for the boat_sharing proposal: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/boat_sharing The idea is to replicate the
