Its more appropriate now to tag as building=swimming_pool and sport=swimming/diving/water_polo etc etc. Cheers Andy ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk

Wow, somebody's reading the voting description completely wrong. 6 unanimous yes approve is an approval. Otherwise, once 15 votes are reached, the majority rules. This proposal still has only 14 votes, so voting should still be open. -Alex Mauer hawke signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk

Alex Mauer [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wow, somebody's reading the voting description completely wrong. 6 unanimous yes approve is an approval. Otherwise, once 15 votes are reached, the majority rules. This is pretty much what Brent said. The proposal only needs one more No vote to succeed. Is there anyone out there who doesn't like the proposal, who can disapprove quickly? We can then move it to Map Features. Ian. ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
