[Talk-nz] LINZ data import: JOSM and a question about tagging

[Alan Jamieson]

I would like to see an area tag named Marae.

The many Marae that I have been welcomed to have many discrete elements 
within them.  Eating, Meeting and Residential buildings being the most 
common.  Many now have medical centres.  Less common are burial grounds 
within the area. But Parihaka, Taranaki is one such.

Not uncommon is a front palisade and a gathering area just before it.

So there is a variety that a single point does not convey.

And, of course, they are found throughout the length and breadth of Te 
Ika a Maui and more sparsely in Te Wai Pounamu

For the western side of the Wellington Region I can locate five and I am 
sure there quite a few here I do not know.
