[OSM-talk] Id stability

[straup]

I don't, no. I do still see people adding osm:* tags to their photos 
though, via the RSS feeds, but realistically I don't expect its gotten 
much traction.

Like the blog post said it's still pretty a "dorky" feature and that 
means it really needs some love and tools and examples to help people 
(who don't live and breathe this stuff) understand what to do with it. 
And then I left Flickr and they've had a thousand and one other 
priorities and and and.

I added support for the tags in buildings=yes. For example (you'll need 
to scroll down to the "photos" section) :

http://buildingequalsyes.spum.org/id/2150341379

http://buildingequalsyes.spum.org/id/2148567270

I'm hoping to have some time to work on b=y again soon and it would be 
nice to wire in an (Flickr) uploadr or something.

Cheers,
