It's basically just a Java command-line program that reads in a .shp
file and produces an .osm file. It can use a configuration (rules)
file that allows you to map attributes in the .shp to tags in the
.osm, but I just create an empty rules file a

1. take out counties boundaries and state boundary
sounds good.
I think some of the county borders are already in the map as
overlapping Ways, and I was planning on cleaning those up eventually.

Ok I can plan on ignoring those for now, unless I get bored today.

So how about you post the .osm file with the simplified ways, with
admin8 boundary tags? And maybe admin6 and admin4 if you'd like?

I belive the Mass state line, like NH extends into the ocean as well. While
some of the towns or counties may not, the legal border should conform to what
is proscribed. Just as the border between NH and VT conforms largely to the
western edge of the Connecticut River except where they both have

Ok so the county border and the state boarder are going to be the same, every
part of MA is in a county. As were getting this from Massgis this is pretty

So NE2 just did a bunch of "work" on Kansas highway relations.

Nathan reads this list. Asking him directly and cc'ing
Dave,
I think calling him "Nathan" is a bit silly, since it's not his real name.
I also must say I've had problems with NE2. He's "fixed up" areas of
DC he's never been to, but worse, he's threatened to remove whole

My frustration with this mapper are fairly high at this poi

Well this may not be ideal but there were already some conflicts
creeping in so I decided to pull "local rank" and revert since by
tomorrow night there would probably be a lot more conflicts.
Sorry for undoing what I'm sure was a good chunk of work but
