So you seriously think highway=cycleway is all that's needed to describe the various flavours of cycleways worldwide? If so, I'd be personally interested to hear your definition of a "cycleway". > I like your optimism. But people do genuinely appear to enjoy wiki-fiddling, > too. Sadly. What's with the "wiki-fiddler" hatred? (not just you, Richard, in general) All those people advocating for a consistent/enforced/limited tagging scheme - how do you think such a scheme should be produced? "Wiki-fiddlers" (meaning those who use and edit the wiki) are the primary people who are aiming to document the meanings of tags and develop a more consistent tagging scheme...If you've got a problem with the definition of highway=cycleway, why not stop complaining about "wiki-fiddlers" and contribute!: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Consolidation_footway_cycleway_path If, on the other hand, you think iterative/collaborative/gradual improvement towards the goal (of a consistent tag set) by the OSM community is *impossible*, then why even bother being involved in OSM...? _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
