Icons for wilderness_hut and key:shelter_type

[rudolf]

There are some proposed icons in ​http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Map_Icons/Proposed_Icons for
tourism=alpine_hut, tourism=wilderness_hut, amenity=shelter, shelter_type=basic_hut, lean_to, public_transport, picnic_shelter.
Perhaps you can include these in JOSM.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have checked the main tags:

• tourism=alpine_hut: we have already the icon but yours is much better, OK:
• tourism=wilderness_hut: not used much (256 occurences), but we have no icon, yours is great and consistent with the previous one, so I would say OK:
• shelter_type=lean_to and shelter_type=weather_shelter: this is the type of icon we display for all shelters, and I find it quite pretty, so I do not think we will change it :
• shelter_type=public_transport: widely used (3214 occurrences), we have no specific icon and yours is great, OK:
• shelter_type=picnic_shelter: widely used (1648 occurences), same as above, OK:
• shelter_type=basic_hut: not used much (155 occurences), but the icon is consistent with the other huts, so I would say OK:

Thanks for your kindly reply.

According to ​http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:shelter_type shelter_type=weather_shelter and shelter_type=lean_to don't describe the same item. While shelter_type=weather_shelter implements a wide definition, shelter_type=lean_to implements a explicit definition of a sheltertype. I recommend to distinguish this two tags. Otherwise the mapper can't see the difference in JOSM. How shall I work with JOSM when I don't see my tagging?

I also propose to use a different icon for amenity=shelter without shelter_type=*. So the mapper can see, where some information is still missing,

BTW, the current icon for amenity=shelter shows a hut with fireplace. This is a rare situation. Most shelters don't include a fireplace.

So long.
