While "in-kind donation" is an English phrase, it is not commonly used and it also includes donations of services, rather than just goods.
See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_kind "in kind refers to goods, services, and transactions not involving money or not measured in monetary terms." "In Kind: consisting of something (such as goods or commodities) other than money" (Merriam-Webster) - also says "first known usage 1973". "In Kind: (of payment) given in the form of goods or services and not money" or "If you do something in kind, you do the same thing to someone that they have just done to you." (Cambridge) This might be difficult for mappers to understand, unless this phrase is more common in British English than it appears (I'm an American English speaker). I believe this proposal is focused on donations of things: physical objects which have some value, also known as "goods," "items", "stuff", "things", like those that you can commonly give away at a second_hand shop or charity shop. If that is the case, a better tag might be something like "goods_donation=", "second_hand_donation=", "donation=second_hand_goods" or something with one of those other common words for objects. But perhaps the key should include the type of things, since mostly people will say "donate used clothes", "donate used books" or "donate used furniture" rather than talking about all possible objects: internet searches for those specific phrases find more results. - Joseph Eisenberg _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
