[OSM-talk-be] oxfam wereldwinkels

[joost schouppe]

Hi,

I was looking at fair trade stores recently. I've always considered Oxfam
Wereldwinkel (don't know what they're called in French, it's the Oxfam
shops with fair trade products from around the world) to be something like
a convenience store (a kruidenier, a small supermarktet), with just fair
trade shops. Much like a bio-shop is a convenience store with organic stuff.

So in that logic you would have:
shop=convenience + respectively fair_trade=only or organic=only .

In the case of organic shops, the case seems closed, but I saw a lot of
Oxfam shops tagged as shop=charity. While Oxfam does have charity shops
(where they sell second hand books or clothes), I don't think their
Wereldwinkels are within the scope of that definition.

How do you feel about this?

(I'm in the proces of building a little mapcontrib app [1] to add
fair_trade tags to places like this, but wanted to know your opinion on
these shops first. Most of these shops are in the U.K. but I wanted to ask
here first, as here I know these places myself; I don't know what they look
like in the UK)
