Occupy Hamburg<http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=53.551355&lon=9.999325&zoom=18&layers=M>:)
There is an unwritten rule for temporary content. The problem is with some applications that have offline data. They get the state when it's downloaded, and then it's refreshed after a few months. So you shouldn't draw stuff that is going to be gone in less than a few months. That said, tags like start and end date should fix this. This should be a problem for developers, not mappers. If you ask me, put it in :) 2011/11/8 Alan McConchie <alan.mcconc...@gmail.com> > Hi everyone, > > I mooted this question on the IRC, but I also wanted to ask it here, too. > Should the temporary camps of the #OccupyWallStreet movement be mapped in > OSM?
