(Apologies for cross-posting) Hi all,
I am conducting academic research on how the OpenStreetMap vocabulary of tags and keys evolved. For this reason, I am analysing the OSM Wiki website (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Main_Page). It would be very helpful if you could answer some of these questions, based on your experience with OSM: * Have you defined/updated definitions of tags and keys in the Wiki? * Is the editing of the wiki mostly an individual, online activity or is there collaborative editing of groups of users? * What were the first keys/tags to be defined? * Were there specific milestones/events/meetings/parties that marked the evolution of the keys/tags? * What were the “difficult” keys and tags that required a lot of discussion? And the “easy” ones? * Do you have any examples of conflicts/disagreements/edit wars in the Wiki? * Were there mistakes in the tag/key definition process? * How do you solve the conflicts in the vocabulary? * What lessons did you learn from the development of the Wiki? If you want to contact me privately, please drop an email at andrea [dot] ballatore [at] gmail [dot] com. Thanks in advance for any information! Mulone
