best way to avoid misconceptions is to write some sentences in the wiki. If you're looking for a feature, you simply type "lawyer" in the wiki-search-field and get usually an answer. E.g. in this case: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Lawyer if you don't get an answer: use a custom tag (or better, ask in the list if someone knows a tag you didn't find and step 2 use a custom tag). cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
