The traffic has calmed down. I still want some things resolved before I agree with expanding street names.
1) Be useful to the user. (This is mostly done via programs.) 2) Be simple for automated processing (programs) a) Render in an uncluttered way on the maps c) Look up addresses on maps b) Processed for GPS use 3) Be easy to enter data a) As simple as possible b) Consider above goals as higher priority If you want these things stated in a different way then look at this link: "http://vidthekid.info/misc/osm-abbr.html";. Right now, by putting everything into "name", we lose utility. I mean that we compromise between making it easy for users and easy for programs. - Val - _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
