Problem is that while "wanting things to show on the map" is a strong motivator for people, it doesn't scale - we are not far from the point where for every feature we add to our main map we have to remove another feature from this map. The map is already saturated with features. Still we hope that we can motivate people to add more detail - but such motivation must come through specialist applications and maps, and not be defined by "this shows on the main map and this doesn't". > *render=<**wikimedia-color > <http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_color_formatting_help>**>* > Chaos you said? Not. Perhaps we should simply let people edit tiles with the Gimp ;) Bye Frederik -- Frederik Ramm ## eMail frede...@remote.org ## N49°00'09" E008°23'33" _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
