[Talk-GB] UK Tagging Guideline - wiki page proposals

[rob.j.nickerson at gmail.com]

Thanks Richard, Andy,

Couple of points to feedback:

* Good point on the cycle paths along roads. I left this section mostly  
unchanged from the original wiki page, but think we can easily add in the  
details you raised.
* I might be 'brave' but am not brave enough to remove the UK Classic vs  
Global. As this page is also for newcomers then I feel we need to address  
highway=path as they will likely already have seen it on the OSM wiki and  
will be confused as to when to use it (like I was). Unless someone can show  
global use of the alternative tagging scheme, I am happy to call it  
just "Alternative" and drop the "global".

Planned Timeline (5 weeks total):

* Consultation on proposed page - 2 weeks
* Collecting feedback - 1 Week
* Implementing feedback - 1 week
* Second review - 1 week (unless objections)
* New UK Tagging Guidelines page goes live


Please continue to send in feedback and I will collate it. I see that  
Rights of Way have come up again on the talk-gb list and like Roberts links  
(http://robert.mathmos.net/osm/prow/) so will add some of these to the wiki  
page.

Regards,
Rob
