Totally true, it might be off topic as we are on the dev list, but this has to be taken into account somehow. A first step would be to add to this file just what is on the wiki Some might argue that this is duplicate work, but I wonder what is longer between : - maintaining one xml file in "almost sync" machine readable - every developper parsing the wiki in it's own way At a JOSM side, the work is allready 95% done for the presets (with translation, icons, categories, etc...) osm2go is allready taking advantage of this work, if I would be to start writing this file, I'll just go over JOSM's and improve it > That's the reason parsing the Wiki is the better choice.

I don't want to end the wiki, it's one of the best way to be the "source tagging information" and discussion place, even for non-developpers. I have a wish to split the wiki map features page to make it much readable, it has come more and more unusable to me because too big. There are some objections because that will break some parsing tools but imho this is not a good reason, because those tools shouldn't do that in the first place. We are limiting our way of arranging things because of them, this has to stop imho. josm, merkator, potlatch, mapnik styles allready have their own copy, let's merge efforts -- Sylvain Letuffe [email protected] qui suis-je : http://slyserv.dyndns.org _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
