I have to admit I never saw either one, but honestly I'm also not sure what I would have replyed.

The older one is kinda like what tagging do I prefer, but at the same time not making clear what HOT and people using the data need, especially when it comes to routing. I mean if it already starts with they may do that and they may do that...

And I think the reason there was little feedback for the recent mail is probably because it looked fine to most people. The majority of mappers there are not really involved in crisis mapping and if they are will just do the tasks. Not to mention that it's a giant wall of text which never helps. And you are also kinda left alone with the links. I think it really lacked a comparison between what has been used and was not good and why this new tagging is better.


When it comes to Tagging you always have to explain what has been used in the past, what you propose, what are obvious alternatives, what should no longer be used, why you propose it, how it will be used etc.


What I still don't see are Wiki pages for the Keys/Tags. Just create them when they already are in the database. And create the proposal. And I also think there are a lot of Tags outside of this life cycle which are far easier to document.
