[OSM-talk] Mapnik style in slippy map

[Steve Chilton]

There are so many features not yet displayed in mapnik that it seemed logical to work through in "popularity" order.
Partly because there is still a lot of confusion about when features are agreed or not, and if so what they should be exactly.
Frequency of use shows some kind of acceptance, although I hear what you are saying about some being inherantly low-scorers because of what they are. Without wishing to cause an avalanche I will look at windmill some time shortly (see http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Proposed_features/Windmill). The good thing is that there is a PNG image there which can be used.
 
Cheers
STEVE

	I'm sure this is a useful approach that will bear fruit. However, I
	think there are tags that will not be frequently used because there
	simply aren't that many of the objects on the ground. I have in mind
	man_made=windmill, of which I have 5 or 6 in my area, compared to
	thousands of roads, and scores of schools.
	
	Personally, I think *everything* with a name should at least have the
	name rendered, with a generic area shading or a generic node bullet if
	it isn't one of the specially rendered things. But given that
	disagreement is a way of life on this list, I'm sure there will be a
	camp that disagrees with that notion.
