Hi all,
Recently, a new tool was created by Martin Raifer (@tyrasd) to
generate graphs of the usage of tags over time. This is a great tool
that gives us more insight in what drives the choice of tags by
mappers. The tool can be found at http://taghistory.raifer.tech/.
I wrote an OSM diary to discuss some results:

I entered
man_made=tower
man_made=mast
amenity=atm
amenity=police
etc.
in this tool and it showed graphic lines in different color. Amazing.
However I have got yet some doubts as one usually does about a new tool.
Could it be that there are only 104000 ATMs mapped in the whole world? I
mean, - is it really the data from the OSM database? Is it retrieved via
the Overpass API or from a tool's own database? If the latter how often
it is synchronized with the live OSM database?
One more thing: in JOSM when one selects a key there is a readily
available drop down list of values for this key. And even when one
starts typing the key there are suggestions based on first letters
entered. It would be great if Martin Raifer could add a similar
functionality to the page. It is possible to do with jQuerry
Autocomplete feature [1]. Otherwise I have to switch to JOSM back and
forth to look up the exact key&value pairs spelling. Could you please
forward to Martin this suggestion?
