Sorry to reply to this here, I'm still trying to remember my wiki password (been away for a while, only just getting back into it) You (the royal 'you', not you alex) have listed the possible values as clay, range and paintball. What about airsoft? (think paintball with bb guns, more realistic weapons, without the messy paint, it's more of a military simulation then all out killing) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airsoft There's tons of sites *dedicated* to airsofting around the county, there's three in my local area (Wigan) which I frequent and I've been looking for a way to tag them. Trust me airsofters are going to be annoyed if their shooting sites get listed as 'paintballing' sites, and visa versa. The reason they need to be listed separately is that paint balling sites are not nessarily airsofting sites, and airsofting sites are not necessarily paint balling sites. Non of the three in my area are paintballing sites, though there is one paintballing site in my area that doesn't allow airsofting. I think with this proposal OSM could become *the* source of paintballing/airsofting sites, I don't think there are many complete maps of these sites currently around. Bonus about airsofting? recently the UK government said that all sites needed to register and all players needed to register to legally own the replica weapons, what does this mean for OSM? Potentially a nice list of sites straight from the governing body (UKARA): http://www.ukara.org.uk/node/24 Someone from legal just needs to drop them an email and see if they will share the data, I reckon they would love a OSM map on their site with all the sites listed in return! Worth a try. If I remember my password i'll post this on the wiki too. - Daniel _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
