Taginfo is just reporting numbers. It can be hard to do a correct interpretation of those numbers
- impact of an import / mechanical edit - impact of presets in editors - impact of a vocal member in a local community that is followed by a group of local mappers - impact of a crazy mapper (e.g. most landuse in Belgium in mapped by 1 person). - local difference in interpretation (e.g. allotments are used differently in Russia I believe -- see some SOTM presentation). - how do you know what is meant by the mappers when you only see the key-values: e.g. shop=salon (hairdresser ? seats (salon in french) ?) I've also noticed that some communities do not participate in the votings at all (or hardly): Where were the voters from e.g. Russia, Belgium, The Netherlands, Japan or France in the suffix voting ? or the jewellery voting ? OTOH I see a pretty large group of German voters. Also, the there is a certain group of people returning in all votings. I'm not blaming anyone for participating in the voting process all the time, someone has to do the hard work of defining new tags. However, it hardly representative for the community as a whole. If we want diversity (often mentioned during OSMF elections), we have to change this. How can we let more people with more different backgrounds participate in the tagging definition process ? And do we want this ? I have no idea. regards m On Wed, Feb 24, 2016 at 7:35 PM, Dominic Coletti <dcoletti.dc...@gmail.com> wrote: > I meant a more formal incorporation such as adjusting the votes required > based on Taginfo data.
