Tradeoff sounds too unspecific to me. amenity=public_bookcase is used once already. Though here are also shelves to share other things so a bit more generic tag might be good. Somehow it is also related to 'give-away shop' without being a shop. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_bookcase

Tradeoff sounds too unspecific to me. amenity=public_bookcase is used once already. I was quiet unsure of the usage of the word tradeoff. I hope that there is a similar word which describes a place where you can leave 2nd hand things and it is offered to pick them up for free. In this context I

In the university, there I've studied there was a place, there you could leave smaller things, which everyone could pick off for free. This could be a t-shirt or mp3-player or a pc-game or whatever... So I think it would be better to have a general tag for such a place (leave something, which

+1, also if they don't have something more in common I'd go this way. They have in common that you can put books into both. The other place you wrote about of that allows to bring and pick-up different stuff could maybe also be a kind of shop? No. Its just the same without the limitation

I found out that in Germany they also map guideposts (Wegzeichen) similarly to the UK and to what Henning Scholland suggested. They seem to use them as trailheads as well. I'm not a native speaker, but I think that guidepost implies that a signpost will be found nearby. Where none is found,

That would be mapped later, but yes, I support extending the definition of route relations with members of such role (which would then reference the POIs we are importing now). The role could be named start, entrance or head. Perhaps entrace would cause confusion with other uses of the word
