Things seem to have gotten way off track, I started this thread to get ideas/feedback on how we could replace an existing tag like waterway=weir and instead make it a subtag along with other similar flow control tags like dams, sluice_gates, flood_gates, lock_gates and so on...
Any talk about a certification process for apps is completely off topic for this thread. I have nothing against such a process, but that doesn't directly help with the current problem. In fact I'd go so far as to say people wanting maps to render properly probably will deal with the issue themselves all we have to do is come up with a sane way to handle any kind of change over, and as I said before I think regular updates combined with a freeze period and a dual tagging period seems like a good idea to me. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
