When a proposal just sits in a wiki and doesn't get spread actively by it's author on OSM channels (forums, mailing lists) it doesn't get much attention. Even /when/ it is spread a lot of people (I included) often prefer to let it be. > So it seems that there are no objections, and that we should > proceed to voting.

How to do one is documented here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mechanical_Edit_Policy > I would like to start with data from the French Corine Land Cover > import, because *all* the natural=rock generated by that import > actually mean natural=bare_rock. For changing a french import you should discuss this with the french community. OT remark: As all Corine data I saw so far it is quite imprecise. Of course the ways cover mostly the landuse they are described to cover, but (e.g. as for woods) they often cover meadows and farmlands, too. This kind if imports are good to get a country full of landuse but not precise data. And enhancing MPs with 150 km outer ways is not what all mappers do enjoy much. > Renaming these tags cannot do any harm, because an ambiguous tag is > replaced which an anambiguous and approved tag which perfectly > matches the intended meaning. For the proposal itself I don't have much objections. IIRC I mapped some natural=rock on nodes which should have been natural=stone but due to my German roots a stone is something I can pick up from the ground – unlike a rock. :) hth Thomas _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
