[Tagging] Tagging cannabis growing facilities

I've been making an effort to add cannabis shops to areas that I either live in or visit. I live part time in Alaska and frequently visit Oregon and Washinton. Tagging a retail outlet is fairly straightforward; I use shop=cannabis and add details like street addresses, websites, etc. There is some

Re: [Tagging] Undiscussed changes for wki pages about access mode "designated".

Oops, I just went to the highway=path page for another reason and saw Verdy_p's NOTE about access=designated, then went back and edit the highway=path page to make it more consistent. I forgot this discussion was on going and tried to clarify that referring page. So, what is the consensus about th

Re: [Tagging] Request for Discussion - Drying_room or Drying_area

Hi Paul, what do you think of : *drying:room=*yes/heated/no *drying:compartment=*yes/no/heated *drying:dryer=*convection/inertised/microwave ? The format is usual for addr:*=* and contact:*.* I think it would give the flexibility to enhance it if needed. Cheers, Thilo Am 12.03.2017 um 11:14

Re: [Tagging] Tagging cannabis growing facilities

Dave, I'd be concerned about tagging cannabis grow operation after the new attorney general's comments. I live in Washington state. Cannabis shops are well known, but not the grow operation. I assume because they are regulated by the state that the Feds could find them. But I'd rather not make it e

Re: [Tagging] Holiday house for groups - tourism=chalet with number of rooms / capacity ?

Hi Lorenzo, IMHO this is currently "chalet" : http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:tourism%3Dchalet But I think you'd like to differentiate the "many bedrooms, with a big kitchen" ? How about combining tourism=chalet with rooms= amenity=kitchen and possibly capacity=groups http://wiki.openstre

Re: [Tagging] Holiday house for groups

From your description, I understand that tourism=apartment is a good fit. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:tourism%3Dapartment It can be "applied to a building containing one or more holiday flats". You can "tag an entire building in case there are several apartments in the building". tour

Re: [Tagging] water=pool

I think just "water=pool" is a bit short and potentially misleading with other types of pools (reflecting pool, swimming pool, salt pool, ...). If you don't need a new tag, I would go for natural=water water=lake (and let the size and position of the feature show that it is a small body of water o

Re: [Tagging] Undiscussed changes for wki pages about access mode "designated".

I slightly modified your statement on highway=path and I think it’s fine. Just to clarify: there is no discussion about access=designated tag. It is clear that this tag makes no sense. The problem is that the page about access tag itself is used to define the values usable for all tags fr
