I think that in the area of sidewaks, it mainly mirrors the discussion here, so it sounds like we have largely reached consensus. It's great that we've all come to similar conclusions on our own- it means we can move forward. David, it's great you've thought so much on these issues. The link you sent has proposals for several features, and normal OSM procedure is to vote on only one at a time, so let's focus the discussion on sidewalks, and then when that's done, we can go through the others. I think that way we're less likely to get bogged down and make iterative, incremental progress quickly, which is ultimately what we both want, I think. - Serge _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
