I don't want to shout you down - this is the talk list, so lets talk. My experience from *mapping*, not managing the wiki, is why I like the map features on one page.
I use Find on this Page in Firefox to search the page. I still have to look at proposed features, where I use the same process. The wiki search returns too many hits to be useful. But this is just my way of working. If the list of shops and sports were split off I'd get by, but I like it as it is. cheers, Chris ----- Original Message ---- From: Stephen Gower <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: talk@openstreetmap.org Sent: Tuesday, 11 March, 2008 4:28:05 PM Subject: Re: [OSM-talk] Map_Features not loading On Sun, Mar 09, 2008 at 12:54:53PM +0100, Pieren Pieren wrote: > > FULL ACK - the current page is a PITA! > > > +1 > I restored the single page. -1 The full page has got way too long to actually be useful. In my opinion, it should include the main options for highways, perhaps the top 12 most used, and then a link to the rest of the key on a seperate page. Some of the other useful keys (by which, again, I mean most used) could have 5 or 6 values detailed on the page and their own subpage for the rest of the values, but most keys should just be a link to a subpage with the detail.. Do we really need a list of every type of shop in the world (and another with every type of sport) on the main map_features page? What purpose does that serve? I'll probably be shouted down by those who spend their time managing the wiki, but my practical experience when it comes to actually making maps is we need to keep it simple, and map_features has gone way beyond that. s _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk ___________________________________________________________ Rise to the challenge for Sport Relief with Yahoo!
