 of course you can  reput this to voting, but if there wasn't interest the
 first time it might continue to be like this also the second time. Did you
 advertize your proposals on tagging, local ML etc.? It might also be that
 there wasn't enough marketing for your proposals to draw the attention of
 potential voters.
As noted on the proposal pages, both proposals where properly announced on the
tagging list and discussed. I did not make further advertisements because of the
participation I saw on the mailing list.

 
 In detail I have looked at your proposals now, and like to comment:

 IMHO it would be useful to have a list (also the beginning of a list) of
 possible values to make this more useful for documentation purposes.
 Usually spaces are substituted by underscores in formal values and no
 capitalization occurs. Maybe it could also be made more explicit that this
 is an _only_ condition (not sure if makes sense).

The naming schema was the one which had been used by Netzwolf originally (in the
source code). It is also the one which I got from the import of all school
holidays in Germany (with
https://github.com/ypid/opening_hours.js/blob/master/convert_ical_to_json).
Changing that format can be discussed. Personally I don‘t think that it is
necessary about if I am the only one we can change that of course ;)

I guess the syntax is ok. The few who need it or come across this syntax could
hopefully understand it (or try it out:
http://openingh.openstreetmap.de/evaluation_tool/) or read the documentation or
the proposal.

 the other one:
 http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/opening_hours_open_until
 seems not to specifiy how this missing information (opening time) should be
 interpreted / is defined.
 
 What does it mean if there is a social club or say a disco with
 opening_hours=-17:00
 will it be open at 5 in the morning? At noon?
 
 Or in your example: http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/370126261/history

 can I have breakfast there? Or eat at 11:30? Or at 16:00?
 
 IMHO almost useless to put this onto some object. Better ask them when they
 usually open and add this. If there i

I totally agree with you but the values do appear in OSM and I wanted to hear
opinions from other mappers about this. Just asking them (the owners of a
facility) sounds like the best idea. Maybe add a opening_hours comment for notes
and hints.

More details have already been discussed in much more detail on the tagging
mailing list:
https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/tagging/2014-February/016559.html

 cheers,
 Martin

My own opinion about these two proposal is that I fully support the
opening_hours_holiday_select proposal. The opening_hours_open_until proposal on
the other hand was created to talk about this issue and maybe find an solution.

 You could have asked at your local regular's table, in the forum or the 
 mailing list.

Sadly, my time is limited. Unfortunately I don‘t find much time for OSM at the
moment but I try to support this awesome project with doing one thing and doing
it well (which in my case is ... opening_hours ;) ).

I know that writing an proposal and the real OSM data can and does differ in
many cases. But even with that in mind, it is still a good idea to have a new
feature documented somewhere, even if the feature is not very common.

 
 It's just a different tool to do the community communication process of 
 getting a common understanding about the meaning of specific tags.
 
 If no one is interested in your tags, then probably it's of no use to 
 the community.
 And we're too much of a Do-ocracy in this case. No one is interested in 
 people solving problems which only exist in theory.
 
 If your tool can evaluate a specific patter, then do it and document it. 
 If it's reasonable then people will follow that tagging. If not a 
 discussion will arise in the future.
Sounds good. I did this already but then I learned about the proposal process
and it worked quite well in the past:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/opening_hours_open_end_fixed_time_extension

But if no one (or only a few) are interested in the topics I came currently
across that is ok. It helps if there are pages on the wiki where a issue was
already documented and some solution where introduced.

 
 I would imagine most people would handle places without a specific 
 opening hour similar I would do. If it's not possible to specify some 
 core hours which are certainly open, I would not specify at all.
 It's simply not possible to evaluate it automatically with a reasonable 
 effort. So if a business refuses to tell me when they're open, then they 
 have to accept that software giving hints about open now won't list 
 them. Similar to the open as long as customers are there closing time...

Sure but if they say you that they are only open during specific school holidays
;) This goes in the same direction as the question „Is this worth it?“
(http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Proposed_features/opening_hours_open_until)
which I did try to answer there.
