[OSM-talk-be] Where to suggest/discuss the renderer?

[Karel Adams]

Marc, thanks for the reply. Only the arguments (not yours! I will not 
shoot at the messenger! at the contrary!) do not hold true. Several 
hundred minor fields have been tagged with either "aeroway:airstrip" or 
("aeroway:aerodrome" AND "aerodrome:airstrip"). The first are not 
rendered at all, the second are rendered just like CDG Roissy. 
Ridiculous! And really demotivating for perfectionist mappers.

I really think it is a kind of chicken/egg problem: renderers will say 
there is no basis for differentiating as long as no more differentiated 
info is in the database, and mappers will say it is not worth 
differentiating the database as long as all aerodromes are mapped the 
same - or not at all. How to break this vicious circle? Where shall 
renderers and mappers discuss the classes of aerodromes, and how they 
are rendered?
