Sorry to be late chiming in.
About a year ago Sean Horgan, Craig Wallace and I thrashed out some ideas for
charity shops. It just seemed wrong not to tag an Oxfam bookshop as shop=books!
The discussion was fruitful although, reprehensibly, we didn't put anything in
the wiki.
I think Craig's pr
Thought I’d cc John McKerrell on this in case he wants to chime in. He is the
guy behind OpenStreetView.

In some detailed shop tagging I'm doing it feel's like I'm missing a method of
declaring that a given shop is more than the width of one "shop unit". I'm
considering adding units=2, units=3 etc for such cases.
I think it would be particularly useful to demonstrate that the whole of a row

Hi Hurricane,
I tagged some shop=charity over the last couple of months, but did so
reluctantly. I think I might go back and use shop=second_hand. We could use
something like business=charity or business_model=charity or charity=* to
declare that it is non-commercial.

Could work really well: fill in the address for the first shop, it gets
prefilled (maybe housenumber preinc/decremented) for the next shop.
Or mappers can leave addressing to a separate survey.

Indeed it can vary from one street segment to another. This matters not a jot
to the idea of automated node positioning. If there are substantial differences
within a street segment, then another method of indicating width may be better
- perhaps a guess in metres.
Anyway I think I'll make an a
I don't dislike this direction, Sean, but a "social facility" doesn't to me
necessarily imply charity. It implies non-commercial, but it could be something
run by the council. There are useful distinctions to be made between charity
and the state!

The whole point of the social_facility, as described on the wiki, is clearly
around helping people at that place. Charity shops such as Oxfam and British
Heart Foundation - even if they have broad aims of "social justice" - just
don't fit into this at all. And RSPCA shops? They explicitly have n

The other day I tidied up a road junction near where I live in Bristol, moving
nodes and deleting a way with the aid of Bing imagery. I found it more
problematic than I expected because of a bus route that went along the road -
the deleted way seems to have confused things.
Here are the two way
Seems a very broadly defined tag. I passed a "depot d'ordures" the other day in
France. Does anybody have a better idea for such crap?

Historical event geotagging could rapidly get out of hand. This feels to me
very much orthogonal to OSM - almost every news story, photo, work of art, etc
arguably deserves a geotag, but hardly any of them deserve to be in OSM. A
separate database is where things like this should reside, where a
