Jo: Thank you for your offer. You are more than welcome. As we would be 3 with Walter, I will write a hackpad with the steps involved in the actual import, that we can tweak until we find the easiest and fastest procedure. About the from inside up in admin_levels, that's the norm always. Bear in mind that for 64 out of 75 districts there aren't any VDC's (admin_level=8) boundaries, so the procedure is, being very schematic:
You take one of the 75 district files I will produce. Each file contains one district relation (admin_level=6) and all the VDC's relations (admin_level=8). You delete all the district limits segments (the only segments with admin_level=6), and the district relation. You then join the nodes to the OSM district limits, close each of the VDC relations that share limits with the district limits, and upload. It can take about 20 minutes, may be less or more depending. The 11 districts with some or all VDC's will take maybe longer. Makes sense? The actual workflow will be more detailed, with screenshots, so we can follow it strictly. Moreover, we will coordinate through a public hackpad or wiki, so we avoid conflicts, specially when having to touch region relations and specially the Nepal international boundary relation. We could even achieve this just mapping at different times. Where are you based? Relatively to arguments that the CC-by 3.0 license is incompatible with the ODbL, I add here an e-mail of Sarah Hinchliff Pearson, Senior counsel of Creative Commons [1], where she answers this question quite very clearly: "we do not think CC BY is incompatible with the ODbL. People can remix BY-licensed databases and license them under the ODbL". Cheers, Rafael.
