Hi, I've done quite a bit of OSM mapping but I'm new to this listserve and am wondering if someone can point me to a place where I can read about voting, inputting my opinions, etc.
I work mostly in Thailand where power poles (another currently active thread) and such are a long way down on my list of priorities. As for bridges, I am one of those that mostly tags them with bridge=yes. The overwhelming majority of bridges in Thailand are concrete spans, short and simple. There are vast areas of Thailand where no roads have been mapped so that's what I tag most of the time. But I am interested to learn how tagging "standards" evolve and might want to make a suggestion now and then. Thanks for your help in advance.
