[Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - Outdoor Screens

              The Wikipedia pages are a bit unorganized... “LED Wall” is the technical term, but I went with “Screen” because the technical name is unknown to most people and I suspect it would cause confusion. Especially if the technology (LEDs) changes in the future.

              Not sure, what do you think? I had imagined this would be mainly for large screens like on the wiki page

              I’m not familiar with mapping indoor spaces in such detail, but if you want to do that sure

              The proposed tag seems to suit this situation well.

              It seems like there are tags for this, audio=yes and sound=yes. Perhaps one of these could be used...

              Sure

              There is already a tag, screen=* for the number of screens in a venue. That tag seems to have been designed for cinemas, but could be used for cafes, pubs, etc.

The proposed concept seems a bit fuzzy to me. You mention and link to
various different terms, including "Outdoor Screen", "LED Wall",
"Video wall" and "LED display". Do information kiosks qualify, usually
also equipped with a touch screen? What about indoor screens? What
about screens in cinema where movies are being projected? What about a
single bigscreen that is commonly found in many outdoor seating areas
in a pub or biergarten? How would you tag screens that act as portals,
connecting two remote town squares via cameras? Would there be a way
to specify whether sound is also available? Is a TV considered an
outdoor screen if it is places inside, but facing the window?

As we organize various OSM/Linux related events, it would be nice if
we could query the map for all pubs, cafe or restaurants who offer a
screen or projector and screen that we may project our OSM slides
using HDMI, a USB flash drive or via wireless. It would be a great
addition if we could see whether the given screen is somewhat enclosed
in its own area within the venue.
