I would love to see this seperated into a proposal lists. This would indeed make talk easy readable again. I personally don't really care about how the tags are defined. If I need any tag I'll take a look at the MapFeatures Page. This way I know that I always have aproved tags. It would even be more convenient if we would be able to add these approved tags to josm as default taggin-presets. But this will be a little bit in the future... If on the other side I want to use a Tag (for example for GPSDrive) I take the osm.xml from the mapnik-svn directory and this solves my problems for the other way arround. > At the time, I thought we had somewhat of a consensus that we should > either create an extra list As already said, I would love to see this happen. Being subscribed to this list too would give me the possibilty to filter proposals much easier from standard talk messages and this for follow both in the level wanted. > or have one condensed "voting issues" > posting per week (or so). I don't think we really need this. Probably only a summary (once a week) of all the approved features. > Alas, not much has changed since then, so I repeat the suggestion: > Let's create an extra list for formal aspects of tagging discussions.
