 Surely there are better ways to do it. IF AT ALL: should newcomers/outsiders be allowed to plunder the limited resources of a local community? Or publicize the existence of such resources?  Surely there are better ways to do it. IF AT ALL: should newcomers/outsiders be allowed to plunder the limited resources of a local community?

 +-Discussion-
 +[Joey] I think a markup language could indeed aid the data problem. But I would recommend some adjustments:
 +1. maybe the tag plant could be changed to edible or species. Since there are related data collections which also mark edibles like fish or other non-plant like edibles/medicine
 +2. I would expand the <picture> tag into a <media> container to support multiple media files (picture, video, perhaps even audio)
 +Maybe even an optional further classification of the type of media, jpg,png,.mp4 ect.
 +this would like like this:
 +
 +<media>
 + <picture format="jpg"></picture>
 + <video format="flash"></video>
 + <audio format="mp3"></audio>
 +</media> 
 +3. Also I would like to support the community aspect more. While the observer is described, it would like to also have further identification of the observer. Like a personal page of id. (facebook?) or just an url on the original foraging site. This way we can give credits to those who should get the credits. An in the future grand them special moderator or even admin rights according to their accuracy and/or amount of contribution
 +So the observer tag could be like this:
 +<observer>
 +   <name>Little Chef</name>
 +   <identification>http://www.boskoi.org/members/101031</identification>
 +</observer>  
 +
 +4. Last I would vote for the KML way of describing a location, since I seems to me easier to implement, and relying on spaces in xml is in my experience a possibility for a lot of errors.
