makes sense, and I think there’s enough in Australia to warrant
a specific <code style="font-size:0.85em;font-family:Consolas,Inconsolata,Courier,monospace;margin:0px 0.15em;padding:0px 0.3em;white-space:pre-wrap;border:1px solid rgb(234,234,234);background-color:rgb(248,248,248);border-radius:3px;display:inline">community_centre=mens_shed</code>

However, these classes have a different purpose to the overall goal of Men's Sheds. Are they still just a Men's Shed that opens to women? "Like CWA, but with power tools" was one way they were described. I wouldn't mind community_centre=mens_shed because the overall goal is men's health, i.e. the Shoulder to Shoulder slogan, even if the facility gets used by women occasionally.</div><div><br></div><div>If we go with community_centre=community_shed, we need to make sure the wording makes it clear it isn't like Share Shed (<a href="https://www.shareshed.org.au/">https://www.shareshed.org.au/</a>), they are like a library for tools run by the community.</div><div><br></div>-- <br><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature">Jono</div></div>
