I'm interested in revisiting the issue of attaching links to photographs in OSM via tag.
There's an ancient stale proposal at: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Image But no hint of why the proposal was abandoned, or any of the points of debate. There seems to be little "push" demand based for photos on taginfo: --------- photo=(5) image:flickr=(3) flickr=(18) image=(332) wikipedia:image=(12) wetap:photo=(108) source:image=Yahoo (200) (useless) FG:photo=(529) (useless) Open Street View and its mailing list kind of kick around: http://blog.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gis.openstreetmap.photos --------- I contributed the 108 "wetap:photo" nodes. roughly 25% of the total images links in OSM. You can view these as pink dots at http://www.wetap.org ). The downside issues seem similar to the website= tag, in that it could attract spam or inappropriate links. The upside is that it can make for richer mapping. As URL links there is no server storage cost to the OSM project. Where do photo links stand?
