[Talk-us] city polygons too large for potlatch to handle?

2009-04-28 Thread Alan Brown
Hi - This might not be the right group to direct this technical question - but I'll put it out there anyhow. I noticed a little while ago that city polygons where added to the OSM database (at least in the SF Bay Area) - and that's a good thing.  There is a city boundary that runs along a

2009-04-28 Thread Chris Lawrence
