Hi Hurricane, I tagged some shop=charity over the last couple of months, but did so reluctantly. I think I might go back and use shop=second_hand. We could use something like business=charity or business_model=charity or charity=* to declare that it is non-commercial.
http://taginfo.openstreetmap.de/tags/shop=charity (345) http://taginfo.openstreetmap.de/tags/shop=second_hand (403) I've also tagged several charity bookshops as shop=books. For these it seemed even more important to model the type of thing you can buy, rather than the business model - but that may be because I buy lots of second hand books and only a few second hand clothes. What do you think of avoiding shop=charity? - L On 4 Nov 2010, at 18:36, Coast, Hurricane wrote: > Hi! > > On the whole, I am a big contributor to charities with my time or money. > As the holidays approach, it always seems to be close to heart to contribute > to those less fortunate. > > I have proposed a Project of the Week to be about Charity, whether it’s > shops, donation centers, food banks or soup kitchens.
