<p>Hi all,<br>
</p>
<p>I came across QR codes as a form of <font face="Courier New,
Courier, monospace">tourism=information</font> in Wales, and
I'd like to propose to map them as information=qr_code. Please
find the page link below<br>

<p>The actual "information" type will vary, depending on what the QR
code leads to, I think? The target of the QR code is just a
website** - here's one I did a couple of years ago:<br>

<p>in that case it's an audioguide. Another:</p>

<p>is on a bus stop. Again, the QR code is just another way of
encoding a link to a website.</p>
<p>Arguably you might want to say that "the way that I get to this
website is via a QR code" (or reading it off a board, or asking a
person in the gift shop, or...), but that isn't something I've
ever mapped.<br>

<p>** in the general case. You can do an awful lot with QR codes, I
think but all the ones I've ever mapped in OSM are websites.<br>
