Hi All,

Let's restart the good old discussion about the place= tag.
When do we use city, town, village, ...
You can read the previous discussion on: 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Talk:WikiProject_Belgium#Places

We can combine this with the boundaries/admin_level discussion, some 
weeks ago on the mailinglist.

This discussion is useful because we need that info for the import of 
the opengeoDB. Currently all place tags are set to FIXME.
Once decided the tags can (probably) be updated by the same import script.
Therefore it is important that you don't break the update mechanism of 
the opengeoDB import.
More information about it can be found on:

Greetings Johan
