[OSM-talk] Proposed Amenity Reorganization

[Jack Stringer]

I have commented on several points that have been raised.

>> *Death
To start with that is the wrong word to be using. I am not sure what
you should use. Imagine saying to the wife 'Just need to go to the
funeral to bury dad so I will search OSM, category Death then search
for the funeral homes'

How about rather than re-naming amenity names into Categories maybe we
need a new tag called AmenityCategory=Entertainment etc. This would
allow for things that transcend multiple categories to be be tagged
with both categories.

On Organising the page. I think leave it as one page. It is fairly
easy to use and it does not improve things by splitting it up. You
will just end up with loads of pages which take up more bandwidth and
more space in the wiki.

Cheat Sheet. I asked for what people want on a cheat sheet and no one
replied to me. I am willing to make one up but as I have never been to
a mapping party I don't know what you want on there.
