We obviously read the OSM's accessibility tags but as I said the project is
a participatory mapping process that make use of OSM as base map data.
The project is using OSM data but the mapping criteria and the accessibility
model were defined by the active citizens that are almost not involved, nor
interested, in OpenStreetMap.

This is your point of view and personally I find it wrong as I would prefer
multilingualism. But IMO this is not the point as we have we have still to
publish the results and we have been asking for suggestions on the list and
in Girona.

We are going to add better description when the project concludes. For now
we put only few lines:
- http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Libero_Accesso...Accesso_Libera_Tutti!
-
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/SotM_2010_session:_Libero_Accesso%E2%80%A6_%E2%80%93_mapping_the_accessibility

I am very surprised you were surprised of the presentation at SOTM10, as we
exchanged couple of relevant messages with you through the mailing list on
the 3rd of April (check your mailbox)

What community do you refer to? It is not a project beonging to the OSM
community, it is a  project where OSM was used for a local participatory
mapping project.

I do not see how the ideas belongs to the wiki or to the mailing list. If
you paid attention during the presentation you should know that the original
idea was by Stefano, the founder www.di-ca.org, and that the whole project
is founded by local and regional authorities.
If the OSM community is interested we will feed the data we collected back
to OSM  matching our internal schema with the existing and incomplete OSM
tags and also giving our contribution for definition of specific styles and
specific tags.
