Note there have been in the past opinions that documenting a new tag without creating a proposal is not desirable (see the "motorcycle:scale" thread earlier this year). If you combine that with the limitation of the number of proposals that can be made you would essentially limit our base principle of "Any tags you like". In other words: Any rate limitation to the proposal process would IMO need to go with a clear agreement that the proposal process is optional for creating a new tag. In the past i usually preferred the wiki for bringing up and discussing questions related to specific tags especially because it allowed for more selective participation in discussion. But the introduction of bot edits into the wiki to me largely burnt the whole thing. A clear agreement that the tagging documentation part of the wiki is humans only without using mechanical tools would therefore also help a lot. ;-) My own observation regarding the tagging list is that endless threads are much more annoying than the overall number of new subjects opened. So having as a guiding principle the rule not to post more than two or three replies on the same subject could be useful. It would encourage everyone to contemplate their replies more thoroughly and not engage in back-and forth two person dialogs - for which this kind of mailing list with a large number of subscribers is not really the ideal place. -- Christoph Hormann http://www.imagico.de/ _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
