There is continuing discussion regarding fords of intermittent waterways, but
my feeling was a consensus was reached with respect to extending intermittent
to:
intermittent=yes/no/winter/spring/summer/autumn/seasonal/ephemeral (default
assumption of "no")
To that end, I've edited the talk page for the intermittent tag at
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Key:intermittent
What would be the next step in working toward getting the actual wiki page for
the intermittent tag updated without stepping on too many toes.
I see that RicoZ has already made a change to the wiki page for waterway=wadi
tagging that seem to be a result of this same tagging email thread.
Thanks!
Tod
