I don't know how to promote this any better than to say this here and
hope it makes its way into local chapters' mind-space.  I'd like to
begin a campaign to encourage OSM volunteers to:

Map Your Train Ride!

Add public_transport=platforms to the map and/or route=train relation of
your commute. It's easy: add a node or draw a small polygon representing
the location of the platform, tag with public_transport=platform,
railway=platform and highway=footway. You might also add it to the
proper route=train relation(s) which should be found around that
railway=station. For further guidance, see the diagram of a "simple
railway station" at
http://wiki.osm.org/wiki/Tag:railway%3Dstation#A_Simple_Railway_Station .

are you sure about the highway=footway tag ?
the wiki page does not seem to mention it, and having unconnected highway segments tends to break routing both for online routers and on gps devices.
