Hey, a new RFC for https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Unifying-playground-equipment-tagging
Purpose: Simplified tagging of playground equipment on the playground itself or as separate object. Both schemes already exist and I want to combine them to help to decrease tagging errors. Proposal: I propose the key playground to be deprecated and the use of key playground:* instead. That would mean that on both playground and playground equipment objects in OSM the key playground:* applies. This then would also allow to map playgrounds and their equipment in situations where a playground just has one equipment and this equipment fills up the whole area of the playground. What I feel: I know many of you do not want developers to speak about how you should do things. But I think a dialogue is necessary and also good for us all and we can learn from each other: Mappers know the philosophy of OSM, the mapping, tagging and the QA, they know what to achieve how. Developers know the philosophy of orthogonality and nornmalisation of things and can help mappers to make OSM more useful. I am the developer of Babykarte. Babykarte follows what I want to propose for a quite long time already with some extra specifications which enables it to be quite flexible in interpreting the tagging. This makes Babykarte a really good interpreter of the tagging of playground equipment. This is necessary to do for us developers (we would be happy if all mappers would stick to the specs) because some mappers decided not to read the wiki carefully or not at all but instead to actually map without knowing how. So developers always need to do some interpreting and thinking of all the possibilities people do not map in accordance with the spec. This makes us to create our own spec that builds on the official one because people aren't following the community's specs. -- ~ Sören Reinecke alias Valor Naram Developer (not Founder) of the Babykarte: https://babykarte.github.io Participating in "MapDiscover" project: https://mapdiscover.org "Community Support" for Trufi Association: https://trufi-association.org Documentation for Trufi Communities on mapping bus routes: https://github.com/trufi-association/mapping-documentation Ein Gag zu Hamsterkäufen: https://klopapier.mapdiscover.de _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
