Martin,
"Ridge" IMO closest means "Kamm" in German.
eg. "Nordkette" north of Innsbruck

- we should distinguish this from -
a whole mountain range ("das Gebirge" in German)

yes, I'd also see it like this. So how would you tag a de:"Grat"? natural=edge?

Don't know what the correct English phrase would be. Maybe the mountain guys
@talk-at know... User fkv/0/ has done a lot of mountain edits, AFAICT.
BTW, should also be discussed rendering-wise, comparing a cliff (wh

In addition to being a mapper, I am the secretary of the Nashville Linux Users
Group. I have been debating whether the club's monthly meeting location should
be tagged in OSM, and, if so, what tag to use. The question arises because the

You could of course use the website tag (formerly url) to link to a

Use that tag on *what*? It's not the website of the lecture hall or
anything else that should be mapped.
___
On the lecture hall point or building outline. I'm assuming here that
the lecture hall web site will list the event on an event schedule on
their schedule.
If that's not the case it becomes less obvious, but you could still
invent and propose a subtag (website:user for shared spaces for

Richard,
I have to agree. Some problems aren't tagging problems, and there's
enough debate over tagging as it is.. Your suggestions are excellent
ones.

IMHO you can tag it. If those meetings happen at the same pl
I've run into a curious use of a tag, to map the /lack/ of a thing.
At least that's what I think mappers are doing.
One might normally expect a well, mountain hut, highway rest area, or
toilet to offer drinking water. Some mappers have placed:
drinking_water=no
