[Tagging] [OpenStreetMap] Re: social facility

[Sean Horgan]

Are you talking about this:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Sheltered_Housing?

Also, on the amenity wiki under Entertainment, Arts & Culture there is a
link to a social_centre:

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Tag:amenity%3Dsocial_centre&action=edit&redlink=1

It is described as "A place for free and not-for-profit activities." but it
is not defined at all.

Are you recommending that we use "social" instead of either "social_centre"
or "social_facility".  I lean towards "facility" myself as just "social" or
"social_centre" sounds more recreational.

In general I like the idea of redirecting amenity:homeless_shelter to a more
generic tag.  How does this impact retrieval via an API?
