I think that here is a better place to have discussions, that's why I reply here. I like this proposal, because it fills a gap for a type of organization that does occur in many countries and does play an important role in the spare time of many people. Maybe there is an issue with the wording. Club seems to have a lot of meanings in English: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Club_(disambiguation) with the (IMHO) most important one beeing "nightclub" (apparently not what you are after). What about using "association", and have subtags for the organisational form and targets (e.g. voluntary, paid membership, whatever). As a side note: in Germany there are now some "smoker's clubs" (which before where pubs or restaurants or similar) as a result of a law that prohibits smoking in public venues, maybe you could add those? Another side note: you propose club=chess, but that might also be club=sport, sport=chess (really ;-) ) A last side note: someone mentioned recently on the German ML that sport=xy should not be used to describe any kinds of sports but only places where you actually can exercise this sport. Personally I don't agree that this is a good definition, but it is what the wiki currently states as well: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Sport cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
