Hi Morten, The site works without a database, so requires very little upkeep. The team that worked on it is very enthusiastic about the project and at least four of the five people who built this during Open Summer of Code are still involved as volunteers. Our partners from the government also seem quite enthused to keep using it on some of their websites, and friends at the pro-cycle movement were also inspired. We are looking for ways to be able to keep working on this in a more structural way, but for now I suspect our enthusiasm will keep it afloat. The tool is now already in production for two "official" projects.
For cyclofix, there's some things in my personal backlog: - add all the layers here: https://cyclofix.osm.be/docs/using-data-map/ (now there's an example for "where to buy a bike", but all the layers should be explained there) - add more info to the public wiki - most of our thinking is described here https://github.com/osmbe/cyclofix-website/issues/4 , and I have been editing the wiki to make some things clearer. I also aim to extend this page https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:service:bicycle With Pieter Fiers, we've also been thinking about creating a proposal for a pub subtag, which could be used to refine cafe and pub with a certain "style"; e.g. "an Irish pub" or a "cyclist oriented pub". For now we just say "if it is a pub/cafe and has cycle services or a cycling club, it's a cycle café" I believe Pieter Vander Vennet also has some ideas on how to make the overpass-queries behind the data more visible to end users, so the "real OSM people" can easily get an idea of our choices. We have tried to keep the entire Cyclofix project documented and easily replicable (including "how to organise a cyclofix mapping party") on https://cyclofix.osm.be/ If you want to be a little more closely involved: most of our team is included in community (at) osm.be , and we've also created a Matrix chatroom.
