Re: [Diversity-talk] Who Maps The World

The health care functions you mentioned there are things that would not be mapped as standalone functions in my experience. They are functions that exist as part of the general healthcare, most will exist within the local hospital although some will be provided locally in the local surgery

Here are so many examples about tagging for women related things: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tagging_in_Support_of_Women_and_Girls, I don't know if you've seen this before. best, S. 2018-03-19 8:42 GMT-06:00 Marc Gemis : > > > > So do we want to propose

Re: [Diversity-talk] Who Maps The World

Hi Charlotte, What about amenity=childcare? There are ~12,000 of them mapped in OSM. Or are you thinking of something else? (I think) it's been part of iD's presets for about 5 years[1]. It's not (yet) in JOSM's presets I think. I initially wondered if "kindergarten" in Germany was the same

Re: [Diversity-talk] Who Maps the World

Rory, I did not want to say that some objects are not gendered in some countries, I'm sorry for not making that clear. I wanted to point out is that "because object X is gendered in a country, it is gendered in every country" is wrong. So any statistics that count the number of objects X on a

Re: [Diversity-talk] Who Maps the World

Hi Marc, Unfortunately a lot of things are gendered, and often it's not logical. So when someone say "In my home ($COUNTRY), $THING is gendered for $GENDER", you basically have to just take their word for it, even if it doesn't make logical sense for you. So people can't really answer "Why?"

Re: [Diversity-talk] Who Maps The World

Hi all, There's a lot to be said about those in power choosing the map. This article points out a lot of the good work HOT is doing to get women involved, but this article has the same false sound bites about how OSM works. That gender imbalance provokes serious debate among mapmakers—one of

Paul, A kindergarten is a school, not a child-care center. They are two fundamentally different things. Also, child-care centers serve a range of ages, not just 5-year-olds. I, too, tried to find a real child-care tag a few months ago. There is none, and "kindergarten" doesn't cut

Re: [Diversity-talk] Who Maps the World

Hallo, I will not dispute the numbers in this article, but I do have some questions on the data behind the numbers. - Why is a bar considered a men-only place ? Can't it be a trendy place for all kinds young people to enjoy a good night out ? I have seen pubs mentioned in previous articles as
