Just to give my 2 cents. I too think it is unfortunate that we couldn't share the file format for templated tagging. If I had done this development, that would have been something I would have looked into. There is clearly value in making a common tagging template description for the OSM community beyond just Merkaartor or JOSM.
Nevertheless, he who writes the code, decides. Obviously, if Chris felt more comfortable of using a custom template file format, then more power to him. Withdrawing that change would be a net loss. Here is my proposal : I will be on an airplane for 2x 7 hours next week. If Dirk can send me the latest tag-preset definition file that JOSM uses + a few guidelines on where I can add to the file format without causing too much trouble for JOSM, I will try to look into merging or at least bringing closer together both file formats. How about it? cu bart On Tue, Nov 04, 2008 at 03:59:00PM +0100, Chris Browet wrote: > > > > > > I will never again try to influence any developments in this direction, > > but everyone here is wellcome to come to josm-dev mailingslist in case > > interest to work together exists. > > > > Please do not refrain of doing it just because of me. > I agree that I'm stubborn and that won't change either (per definition). > > However, you shouldn't condemn all Merkaartor users because of me.
