Re: [Tagging] How to tag a building constructed for a gastronomic purposes?

Well, OsmAnd lets you see different categories of buildings in different colors. I was actually going to try this out in a branch of the standard style (Openstreetmap Carto) to see if it could help. Right now the main categories of buildings fit with the areas: building=retail with landuse=retail

Re: [Tagging] How to tag a building constructed for a gastronomic purposes?

I’d recommend tagging all retail buildings, including fast foot and restaurants, with building=retail. A building built for fast food can easily be converted to a sit-down, full-service restaurant without any modifications to the building structure. And a restaurant in a storefront building could

Re: [Tagging] Topographic Prominence for Peaks

Right! Especially on my island, New Guinea. That’s why we need to check the height of saddles and peaks “by hand”, or better yet by survey with GPS. OSM is the right place for this data, and some map styles and database users will find it useful to analyze data about mountain areas and peaks.

What about buildings like these though? (de: "Gasthof" / "Gaststätte" - "guest yard" = tavern / "guest place" = restaurant) https://noew.infomaxnet.de/data/imxplatformj/images/301_gasthof_fink_bad_erlach_1.jpg http://www.norbert-maas.com/foto/800_tetzelstein-8889.jpg

The small sub-summits around the caldera of a tall volcano (eg Mt Fuji) are a great example of why prominence=* is useful. I don't think it works call each of those local high points on Mt Fuji's crater a "hill", if they are all at >3000m elevation with steep slopes dropping >1000 meters down to
