Right. This is the alternative I alluded to: accept that the meaning of tags is not reliably documented anywhere. To the newcomer, it appears that the web pages on the openstreetmap.org site are the project's official documentation. You then get a bit of a shock when you try to file bugs, edit the map or post to the mailing list using the pages as documentation, only to be told that 'random people on the wiki' do not determine the correct way to tag things. As others before me have said, it's a mess. If we accept that the wiki is not authoritative then we could carry this to its logical conclusion by moving it to a different domain and not linking to it from the main osm site. -- Ed Avis <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
