I know the problem, but while in the past we might have made new tags for green sheep with 6 legs, the other extreme is to force everything where you can stay with in a tent under tourism=camp_site. That's what I understood from Martin's mail, they are too different, not that he does not want you to map scout camps.
There is no "best", for each case we have to see whether it is appropriate to try to come up with a general tag that fits many objects and which requires subtags or just come up with new tag on top level. IMHO, scout camps are too different from camp sites that we could introduce a new tag for them. Similar: holiday stays, tents (or barracks) different: certain age groups, supervised, private there are probably other similarities or differences. Another (the most ?) important thing is that I cannot imagine that when you looking for a scout camp that you are interested to see where the camp sites are (or vice versa). This is different from parkings, if I need to park my car near an office, I'll be looking for the private parking of that office or a parking open to the public. I need both. regards m On Fri, Apr 3, 2015 at 8:23 AM, Warin <[email protected]> wrote: > On 3/04/2015 5:05 PM, Marc Gemis wrote: > > > On Fri, Apr 3, 2015 at 7:41 AM, Bryce Nesbitt <[email protected]> > wrote: > >> Scout camps ARE landmarks often, and valid destinations, even if they >> don't offer services to the general public. > > > This is not an argument to map it as tourism=camp_site, this is just a > argument to map it.
