Could we make that page more encompassing of Canada and the project? Other areas might want to get started and it would be great if they could find the info as well.

We also need to settle on the tags to be used. I noted the use of building=retail I assume that is acceptable as well as commercial. Another tag used is ele which has the same values as building:levels but I hadn't seen it before.

In the form in the interface we will use, it could be just residential and apartments not be in the choices. We will use the tags reserved for buildings. As John mentioned, malls can have just a few tags and then there are these shops and amenities floating at the same address. Could we have the building and the tags shops, offices, amenities attached to them?

There is going to have to be grouping of some tags for residential, commercial and industrial buildings to get a full tally Yeah, terrace homes, duplexes, triplexes, condos may all have unique civic addresses. Apartments may have the the same civic address but also includes an apartment no which needs to be mapped differently then just assigning a address to a building(you are now getting into entraces and addr:flats) example of a terrace home: http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/2688375179 and http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/262705861 this is the way they are doing it in the UK (after many hours in IRC asking how to properly map them) On Tue, Aug 2, 2016 at 3:03 PM, john whelan <jwhelan0...@gmail.com<mailto:jwhelan0...@gmail.com>> wrote: How many buildings are tagged with a building tag or is that step one tag building with the building tag and type?
