As many should know, the tagging mailing list [1] is seen as the main place of discussion of tag definition in OSM.
Due to the growth of the community, usually there is a high traffic of emails of highly specific topics. I believe these qualities of diversity of topics and large quantity of messages are not a good fit with a mailing list, resulting in quite an unpleasant experience for subscribers. To worse the situation, it's hard if not impossible to comment in an ongoing mail thread if you are not already subscribed to the mailing list (i.e. people might not be able to comment in the few specific topics they are actually interested in). The solution seems to be a move of the discussion of tag definition to a forum platform, which would be a more appropriate place due to the qualities described above. I think this is important for increasing diversity in the tagging mailing list, because few people can deal with a mailing list like that. How can we do this?
