My main points from my original post still stands, I feel that the wiki is inadequate to deal with the task of maintaining an index of tag definitions properly, it is simply too much effort to be useful for less common tags because you have to spend too much time searching which takes time away from mapping. If the process could be made easier, or better yet, part of the work flow I think things would be a lot more productive then they are now.
Another weighting system I thought of after my original post could be a voting system where people vote tags up or down, but instead of including or excluding this only effects the order that results are displayed from a search. I also think if an API is found to be useful mapping editors will adopt this themselves because it will make life easier for their users. Currently I code in PHP and java, so I'm not sure how much help I could be in coding a solution, but I am willing to spend time making a proof of concept. Has anyone coded something similar to this already? Specifically the translation side of things, because no only does the tag name need to be translated but some key names would also need to be translated as well. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
