Agreed. It needs to stop, people need to discuss the issue here instead. Is the feature used? Then, let it stand until discussed. Can the people who enable it and revert it *please* speak up here instead? As for the "the database is the fasit, you can use whatever tags you like"-opinion, imho it's not so good either. We need to agree on as much as we can, or else it's not a world map anymore, just bits and pieces of separate map initiatives, all meddled together in the DB. (a bit exaggerated, of course). Someone needs to rethink the map features-process, imho, but so far I have not much better proposals myself... Reduntant tags and confusion gains noone in the end. Certainly not the task of creading a free map of the world. This is why we need Map_features-page. And without it, it would be pretty much impossible to join the project at all, it would just be too hard to gain an understanding on how to tag. -- - Vegard Engen, member of the first RFC1149 implementation team. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
