The OSM community talks more and more about 3D. Many projects try to add a layer or a special render to show this kind of informations on OpenStreetMap data. Facing the big growth of interest, a wiki page has been started about solutions to manage 3D.

Vote on Scuba Diving
The previously proposed scuba diving feature aims to wrap up some scuba diving tags used by the community and officialize them into a proposition.
