Re: [OSM-talk] OSM Wikibase is now live

Mateusz, I think we have a chance of success this time because unlike other rulesets that are stored in the specific project's GIT repos, this project is * wiki based and centralized, just like the tag documentation, and accessible to a much wider community. In the last week, we had 18 users

Part of Wikibase that are an attempt to create yet another preset and validator ruleset are probably not going to be used by anybody. Note that so far every editor creates its own (iD, Vespucci, JOSM...). 23. Sep 2018 14:05 by osm...@michreichert.de : > TBH, if

Could you give some examples so that the wider OSM community can do something about it? -- Andrew From: Christoph Hormann We already have quite a few people on the wiki who try to forbid mappers accurately documenting widely used tags because these tags are
