The version1 level 10 ABS boundaries have now been removed. Now when you see a red way you know that it does indeed need work on it. If you use a mapnik rendering (whether Bing maps or openstretmap.org) the remaining level 10 boundaries show up well in purple. These will almost always be of two

I'll scream about tomorrow lunchtime. Can you explain why the DWG need to be involved here? I'm not sure I see the benefits of a bulk remove prior to everything else. I have had no difficulties in removing the ABS boundaries when they get it my way. Ian. On Feb 1, 2012 11:50 PM, Nick Hocking

I think doing a JOSM search for user:ABS2006 does everything we want here. Because JOSM is only aware of the most recent user, this selects all V1 ABS2006 imported objects only. Relations, nodes and ways. These can then be deleted with a single click. If the relations, ways, and nodes are all

Okay, It sounds like your way further down this line of thought/implementation than me. I'm happy to drop any objection, and keep my fingers crossed for a good result. Looking forward to any data you can produce from your analysis. Thanks, Ian. On 2 February 2012 10:46, Nick Hocking

+1 Nick, you've obviously put a lot of thought into this and I trust your judgement. I think removing the boundaries sooner rather than later will make the remapping effort easier, and spreading the pain across a few blows now is better than waiting for a knockout hit on April 1st. Cheers,
