<div class="moz-cite-prefix">OSM relies on the contributions of many
people, most of them are not going to spend much time learn stuff
- particular complicated stuff that they don't see in their day to
day life. <br>
<br>
The complexity of things like the values of 'opening hours' mean
it does not get used by many. <br>
<br>
OSM should try to make things as simple and easy as possible for
the contribution of data. <br>
The more data OSM has the more attractive it is to data consumers.
<br>
If the consumer wants to filter OSM data into compliance with some
standard they can. <br>

OSM is the underlying data, not any particular rendering thereof.
The general public are therefore not our target audience; that is
composed of data consumers, including renderers of course.<br>
<br>
AIUI the above represents how we react to complaints about the
"standard rendering" on the website. Why should that not be true
here? <br>

<div>Is OSM supposed to be for a tight, dedicated

<div>I would argue that if we keep it amongst a tight,
dedicated group with no thought about</div>
<div>producing something of benefit for ordinary consumers
then it will stay that way and it will</div>
<div> progress SLOWLY. If we try to produce something
that ordinary people can use then a small</div>
<div> fraction of them will see that the map is incomplete
and join in. There are positive feedback</div>
<div>effects that can come into play, if we don't actively
suppress them.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Just my opinion. However, there is anecdotal
evidence from one of the people on this list</div>
<div> to support the idea that a useful map encourages
more people to aid the effort: <br>
