I do not have a FAQ on philosophy, only this and that...

Why does it have to be one exclusive_or the other ? Both what things
are and what they are used for is important. There's normally always a

Good idea,
Building further on this idea: Right now the main problem we have with iD
in Belgium is that we have better, more recent aerial imagery that cannot
be used in iD. They are working on that but until a new version is released
new mappers might realign house with old images from Bing. It w

Yes. As much as all this "you can use any tags you want" creates an
environment open for innovation, it creates a horrible mess when you
use it without coordination and on existing features.
Also, no-one seems to ask a question "How it that problem solved in
other maps?" when proposing tags or othe

Now that the water_tap proposal discussion is over, I'd like to join
this important discussion.
My opinion: Since OSM is a *map*, we should *map* things. That means,
we should tag what actually exists on the planet, not what is implied.
Sometimes things are tagged in real life. For example, motorw

Interesting. I was unaware about so drastic changes i
I’m a newcomer, and somewhat of a noob, But I’ll take a crack at it.:

a varying balance of importance between those 3 things. **

There is no basic philosophy at the top level from which everything else
can be derived. It's like evolution - some things are a bit strange but
you can often understand them by looking at how
