However, these classes have a different purpose to the overall goal of Men's Sheds. Are they still just a Men's Shed that opens to women? "Like CWA, but with power tools" was one way they were described. I wouldn't mind community_centre=mens_shed because the overall goal is men's health, i.e. the Shoulder to Shoulder slogan, even if the facility gets used by women occasionally. If we go with community_centre=community_shed, we need to make sure the wording makes it clear it isn't like Share Shed ( https://www.shareshed.org.au/), they are like a library for tools run by the community. -- Jono
