This seems to be an area that OSM *really* lacks, and some people give usage of tags as a reason not to improve things which doesn't seem like a valid argument especially when some tags like abutters and created_by have been depreciated. I'm spit balling here, but maybe one way to achieve might be to do the following: 1) Make a proposal and post to the tagging list asking for feedback/discussion Wait a week or two after the last post and then: 2) Post to the talk list asking for feedback/discussion 3) About 2 weeks after the last discussion/modifications to the proposal you post a vote request to both the tagging and the talk lists Depending on the outcome of the vote, either too many against at which point you could try modifying the proposal and going back to steps 2 or 3, or if the vote is successful or if there was a lack of interest in the outcome you could jump to step 4 4) Update the wiki to reflect the outcome 5) Use the XAPI to find existing tags and mass retag using your JOSM or any other editor that can handle OSM XML files. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
