Hi,
you invented some new tags here,
usefulaaltomap:id, usefulaaltomap:showThese are not used in other places and are not documented. Could you explain there meaning? To me it looks a bit like a ref number, and a ref:XXX tag would be a good choice.

Hi,
Thanks for your feedback! I've been working on a project called UsefulAaltoMap, a better university map. It's still relatively new, most of the philosophy can be found here: https://github.com/usefulaaltomap/usefulaaltomap
I have tried to use OSM standards as much as possible, but decided to be adventurous and add some more needed tags. Since this is of limited interest, I decided to press ahead first and if it becomes bigger, will put on OSM wiki or standardize.
Tags documented here: https://github.com/usefulaaltomap/usefulaaltomap/wiki/OSM-tagging#general
Do you think these are appropriate here? For most of our custom data, I keep it separate from OSM in a yaml file, but that doesn't scale well for some things that I don't track separately. And, anyone else I should talk to about this project?

Thanks! Good to know that there is some documentation and planning behind.
Some ideas about keys:
usefulaaltomap:uid -> short_name
usefulaaltomap:id -> ref:university, ref:aalto
usefuaaltomap:show -> this is a bit problematic because it just tells one specific renderer what to do - as there are hundreds of renderers and applications it would be quite a mess if all put their specific rendering rules to the database
access=university - be careful here, 'access' tags are interpreted by almost every tool and do have quite some influence on usability (e.g. routing), so you should use standard values here.I'd suggest to put a link to your documentation to you changeset comments to make sure people like me can find it.
You could also make a post on the forums or mailing list about your project to see what other people can contribute.
