For one of OSM GSoC'10 projects I would like to suggest "unofficial guide" for mapping. We all know that there is a little haos in tagging (some says it's good, some says it bad), but so far biggest confusion comes from not how to tag things, but how to tag complex situations or how to even map complex situations (and that's without even taking micro mapping into account).
What we need is nice guide where is said - basic roads are maped like this, crossroads created this way, this must be connected with that, etc. It would also create a nice little base for futher experiments and ideas. There's nothing wrong with seeking out alternative tags or ways of mapping, but this at least should be documented somewhere. More or less everyone who would take this task would have to go trough all archives, look for discusions and conlusions (and even if there is no conlusion, writing down all sane opinions would help greatly) and write it down in casual user manual style. Just a idea, but I think worth to explore, cheers, Peter. 2010/3/11 Graham Jones <grahamjones...@googlemail.com>: > Mike. > Thank you for your suggestion. > I do not know where the apache licence ref comes from.
