I disagree. Nothing is more subjective than a sense of danger. There are a few roads in my home town that I hear from one or two people are "very dangerous" and "should be avoided by bicycle" where I have no problem with those roads at all and use them daily. How can I determine that from a very subjective "dangerous" tag. I would have to see that road for myself to determine if I find it dangerous or not, making that tag useless. If you want such a classification, you would need to tap into crime and accident statistics for that road.

Re: [OSM-talk] Danger zone for pedestrians
These are sort of the things I would appreciate I could be able to map in OSM. Even with the subjective point of view that might represent to tag a way as insecure or not, it is easily achievable to determine a way or schema in wich you could identify wether a street is safe to walk or pass through under determinated conditions. For example, I've been wondering if I could use class=bicycle to properly identify bicycle friendly streets in my city, considering we have no cycleways. In that process, I have found that some routing engines send me by streets I can't pass through by night nor alone, because they are very dangerous. I know I could map if the streets are well iluminated or how is their surface, but that's not enough to what happens on those streets (gangs and violence, for example). I could also use the class=bicycle tag and "hack" a routing service to properly identify these tags, but that's doesn't give me the real reflect of reality: I can move around those street by day, not on the night. I guess this scenario is similar to the one you mention, so I would propose two things: use a similar scheme tagging as class=bicycle for pedestrian (that it may be developed), and to propose a time-based tagging (hourly or night/day). On the other hand, some weeks ago I read about these kind of projects and tags within the map feaures, and how they could be misguided the OSM project to other things that are not included in the initial mission of the global project (to create a geo-database for scienteific and academic purpose). But I guess we can discuss how much would OSM as a service or OSM as a databse for social science research might be excellent to the whole global initiative and for incursioning in other research fields involving OSM.

[OSM-talk] Donation from the Pineapple Fund
Hi, You might remember news about big bitcoin donation from the Pineapple Fund: https://blog.openstreetmap.org/2018/01/11/donation-from-pineapple-fund/ I wonder how OSMF plans to use it? This is substantial amount of money, however I'm aware that it's just a one time shot and not a big change for the OSM in the long run - it's "only" about 2x more than yearly income: "Our total income in 2016, without SOTM, was £124,000." https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Finances/Treasurer%27s_Report_for_the_December_2017_AGM -- "My method is uncertain/ It's a mess but it's working" [F.

[OSM-talk] FOSSGIS routing server
Hi I want to introduce the FOSSGIS routing server at https://routing.openstreetmap.de/ to a wider audience. It runs OSRM with a car, bike and foot profile almost worldwide. It seems to be working quite stable now, so I hope to increase the traffic a bit. The aim in the end is to get it on osm.org as one of the routing options. Currently there are only the servers run by commercial entities, this server should be more community run. Currently the bike profile is limited to Eurasia, because the servers are lacking a few GB of ram to run all three profiles world wide. You can find a bit more information on the about page https://routing.openstreetmap.de/about.html Please provide feedback if something is not working as intended. Here or on github. Also, I am looking for someone else to join me in administrating these servers, such that they are not depending on a single person :). If you have a bit of experience working in a shell and would like to tinker with a big server, don't hesitate to contact me.
