[OSM-newbies] Schools and school grounds

[Robert Helvie]

Yeah,

OK, thanks. I had originally looked at the wiki page for the school tag, not
the landuse page.

Josm tagged them correctly. I guess my problem was with JOSM seeing as
'school' is not on landuse or the amenity submenus, but on the building
submenu.

So then if I do ever go back and map the buildings on the school ground the
renderers or JOSM are not going to have a problem with an area |
amenity=school on top of another area | amenity=school?

And thanks for the info about the layers. Good to know and I guess I'll go
back and get rid of the layer tags.

Oh, and since we are talking about layers. The wiki says to draw a river way
over areas of river.

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:waterway%3Driverbank

Is it OK to leave everything on layer 0 there, too?

Thanks again.

Robert
