I'd think that Importing all datasets into Koordinates.com, and using that as a basis for choosing what data to add to OSM would be a smart move.
Potlatch2 does allow for shp files that are stored on an ftp site (dropbox?) so the data can be used. Thinking outside the box also means that there is lots of 'prep work' that is required when thinking of adding data to OSM. Of course, all data can be injected into CommonMap, but i think that Koordinates.com can offer the 'common' ground for OSMrs. cheers, Sam On 8/18/11, Josh Doe <[email protected]> wrote: > On Thu, Aug 18, 2011 at 6:23 AM, Jaak Laineste <[email protected]> wrote: >> Core of the idea is to avoid external data imports and reserve OSM >> database for what was meant for: community-sourced (manual) mapping. > > I don't intend to turn this into a debate, but please keep in mind > that there are differences of opinion as to what OSM "was meant for", > as acceptability of imports varies by region. > -Josh > > _______________________________________________ > Imports mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/imports > -- --- Across Canada Trails - Beyond 2017 - The National Trails Network Victoria, BC Canada Twitter: @Acrosscanada Blog: http://acrosscanadatrails.posterous.com/ Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/sam.vekemans Skype: 'Sam Vekemans' Member, CommonMap Inc. http://commonmap.org/ IRC: irc://irc.oftc.net #CommonMap Also find us on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn _______________________________________________ Imports mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/imports
