Hi there, the badgers (taxonomy group) just had a very productive and well attended phone conference: Here is the memory, http://piratepad.net/Telko-20Taxonomy-20TransforMap-20Communities

The most important result is, that we came up with a decision of how we will suggest the CATEGORY "SElF-DESCRIPTION OF COMMUNITIES" to OSM (that is, which tags will be created for our entry mask)

SO: THE COMMUNITIES WE WANT TO SUGGEST FOR OSM AND INCLUDE IN TRANSFORMAP FROM THE VERY BEGINNING ARE THE FOLLOWING:

solidarity economy transition town initiative permaculture demonetized economy community based currencies Commons Economy for the Common Good collaborative economy Global Ecovillage Network

DECISION POSTPONED IN THE FOLLOWING CASES:

P2P economy subsistence economy

REMEMBER: The identification of a community will be mandatory for TransforMap (but not for OSM), furthermore, there will be a free-text field that allows us to collect more data during the testmapping. This testmapping process will tell us if we need more/other community tags in the future.

(@JOSEF -> sorry, but we changed a few things, so you'll need to adapt it in the testionary! As I said - it was a productive meeting. :-)

More later,

Thanks for this amazing discussion and the shared responsibility in getting it all on track for OSM now

All the best Silke
