I like this idea a lot, thanks. I’ll try it on a few nodes in February when we will start mapping the public bookcases and I plan to make a proposal based on the results. book:genre it is!

Currently in OSM, we have 10 amenity=public_bookcase: http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/amenity=public_bookcase Seeing the numbers and the rarety of such feature, I think you can add your suggestion directly in your local editions and perhaps also in a new section in the wiki (noticing it's coming after the vote) We have about 50 or so public bookcases that we will be adding in Montreal in the upcoming months. I’ll be able to try out this idea and then make a new proposal on the matter. Thanks for your answer!

Re: [Tagging] lanes=-1 especially in Canada
There are many of these lanes=-1 in the Canvec import in Quebec. I would assume they mean ‘Unknown’. In my opinion we could just delete them all (at least in Quebec) since they bring no pertinent information. Guillaume Le 2014-12-30 à 16:16, John F.

Given how sparsely-populated some of the northern regions of Canada are, I would not be surprised to find some one-lane roads, and some extensive areas with no roads at all. -- John F.

[Tagging] 'Variety' in UK English?
Hello, We are having a discussion on the wiki about the ‘varieté’ value for the theatre:genre tag values: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Tag:amenity%3Dtheatre#variet.C3.A9 http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Tag:amenity=theatre#variet.C3.A9 ‘varieté’ does not seems English (shouldn’t it be ‘variety’?), and it’s not French either (it should be ‘variété’). I suppose in the US they would write ‘variety’. How is it spelled in the UK? What is the value we should use for OpenStreetMap?

Re: [Tagging] 'Variety' in UK English?
I have contacted the changeset authors as suggested, but could not find trace of the original proposer. I updated the wiki also. Guillaume Le 2014-12-29 à 16:45, Tom Pfeifer t.pfei...@computer.org a écrit : Langenscheidt translates DE:varieté into variety theatre, music hall, Am. vaudeville theatre. Oxford defines 'variety' for both BE/AE as a form of television or theater entertainment consisting of a series of different types of acts, such as singing, dancing, and comedy All is exactly what was intended with the German varieté in the Wiki. (Apparently in language, DE:varieté has been borrowed from FR:variétés, losing some fine details when passing the border) Thus I'd tune into the suggestion (here and on the talk page) to change it to theatre:genre=variety in the wiki, talk to those who have tagged the 9 occurrences and inform the original proposer. tom Florian Schäfer wrote on 2014-12-29 21:59: Am 29.12.2014 um 21:57 schrieb Florian Schäfer: Am 29.12.2014 um 21:48 schrieb Steve Doerr: On 29/12/2014 20:36, Steve Doerr wrote: On 29/12/2014 19:41, Guillaume Pratte wrote: We are having a discussion on the wiki about the varieté value for the theatre:genre tag values: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Tag:amenity%3Dtheatre#variet.C3.A9 http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Tag:amenity=theatre#variet.C3.A9 varieté does not seems English (shouldnt it be variety?), and its not French either (it should be variété). I suppose in the US they would write variety. How is it spelled in the UK? The same: variety. My impression is that, in French, it is normally plural (e.g. théâtre de variétés), so if we wanted a French tag-value it would be variétés OK, the term varieté (and other genres) was introduced in the Wiki in February 2010 by a German user called BlackBike. It seems there is a German word Varieté, also spelt Varietee, translated by leo.org as 'music hall' or 'vaudeville'. I'm not familiar with the subtleties of these different terms, but it's not impossible that there is a genre specific to the German-speaking world, subtly different from variety, vaudeville, music-hall, or French variétés, which therefore needs a tag-value of its own: theatre:genre=varieté. The German Varieté translates to Music Hall (BE) or Vaudeville (AE). Excuse me, I've read your message too fast and didn't realize you already said what I've written. ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging

[Tagging] Defining genre for public bookcases
Hello, Many public bookcases are small enough (20-30 books) that hey can have an implicit genre, for example most books are science-fiction novels, cookbooks, etc. If you are looking for a particular genre, this information can be particularly helpful on a public bookcase map (so you know which public bookcase to visit). There does not seem to have a generic genre tag in OSM. Should it be mapped like proposed in amenity=theathre? theatre:genre=drama theatre:genre=opera ... http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dtheatre http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity=theatre This could give: literature:genre=science-fiction literature:genre=mystery literature:genre=cookbook literature:genre=comedy … What do you think?

[Tagging] alley=green_alley
Hello, I am writing about a new proposed tag, alley=green_alley, and would like to have comments on the new tag. A green alley is a service alley that a group of local residents embellish with vegetation, such as trees, vines and flowers. Montreal has more than a hundred green alleys that are officially recognized by the city. These green alleys are notable feature since they are clearly identified with a sign installed by the city: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/File:WTMTL_T52_DSF2289.JPG A green alley is first and foremost a normal service alley, and would be identified as such when tagging: highway=service service=alley alley=green_alley I have created a proposal on the wiki: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/green_alley Here is the talk page: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Proposed_features/green_alley Thanks!
