A while back I wrote scripts to build a _grid_ of preset support (base
on parsing the source code of each editor). I use that on occasion to
identify and argue in favour of adding certain presets.
Cool, thanks for this work, Bryce!
But if there are no big obstacles, it'd be even easier if the set is
common. That doesn't exclude having some local presets for example for
testing purposes, of course; still - why not test them on all the
platforms from day one?
I think the bigger constraint on OSM growth though is not presets, but
rendering support. There are good communities of mappers and features
which have presets, but are rendered nowhere.
This is another very important thing IMO. I miss "mappers' map" (working
map) idea and for some time I try to add at least icons for very common
types of shops to our default map style, but even this simple thing was
no that welcome. However the opposition never took the time to explain
what is the problem with it.
I try to make more connections between different parts of OSM community
and subprojects. Having common set of presets used by at least the most
important editors and documented on Wiki with some reference "working"
map (which may not be beautiful, but rather show as much different
elements as it's possible - like all these presets) would be really
great exercise in OSM internal coherency and interoperability!
