can still see the OSM border there, but it isn't as defined as
You may wish to try that out. You might want to also look at the street data
for the rest of the communities served by the Alaska Marine Highway System, as

exactly where each dock is.

There we go again! See you tonight. I hope to get a 2 week frequency
going for this - holidays excluded. Also see

FYI - King County Washington has authorized the use of their data in
OpenStreetMap.
No imports using this data (beyond possibly the Seattle Import) are
currently planned, afaik.

Sweet.
I wish more local governments took this approach.
I suspect as our project progresses, they will, just as they did in

Thanks everyone who took the time to indicate availability. The best
time is Thursday noon MST / 7PM GMT based on response.
Let's meet on IRC. We can hijack #osm-strategic for this meeting
(unless we hear otherwise). Use irc.openstreetmap.org or your favorite
IRC channel to log on.
It would help
+1 for importing this. I'm curious for a battle plan of whoever leads this
effort, this will be a lot of work.

Unless there's another plan for retaining some association, it could be
very helpful in the future for referencing between OSM and MassGIS records.

I'd say the wiki is likely the least used of the various channels for local

Paul - good points. I said wiki and meant the Social elements of the
