Those numbers are a little misleading. First, there are about 40000 mappers active in past 30 days, as with much of internet most users are inactive. Second, I would say a bigger influence in "which tags mappers should use" is held by maintainers of iD and other beginner-friendly editors, which if anything is a number smaller than 20. (I would guess people using JOSM or the like are more statistically likely to invent a sensible tag even if not proposed or documented.) --Jarek _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
