Is there a wiki page with a "wish-list" of things, with approximate costs where developers could post? There is likely a disconnect between those willing to pay, and those who could actually scrounge up the money. Thus, once consensus on what changes are needed has been achieved, we can scrounge for money?

I am not sure what you mean here. One of the problem of tagging boundaries on ways and one of the main reason why the idea did not reach consensus is that it does not solve any of the rendering problems w.r.t. boundaries in substance. Code for processing OSM boundary data for cartographic applications exists. Not all of it is open source and much of it is just rough implementations not robust enough for routine use. And there are of course very different cartographic problems to solve w.r.t. boundary rendering. Why is nothing in that direction in OSM-Carto right now? Because no one so far has invested the volunteer time to do so an no one has invested the money to pay someone qualified to do so either. And a large number of people consider the status quo as good enough. "The good enough is an enemy of the great" is a very common pattern in map style development. -- Christoph Hormann http://www.imagico.de/ _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
