[Diversity-talk] Who Maps The World

[Rory McCann]

Hi Charlotte,

What about amenity=childcare? There are ~12,000 of them mapped in OSM. 
Or are you thinking of something else? (I think) it's been part of
iD's presets for about 5 years[1]. It's not (yet) in JOSM's presets I
think.

I initially wondered if "kindergarten" in Germany was the same as a
childcare or creche, but apparently a German kindergarten is more like a
playschool (or kindergarden in USA).
