Thanks Jason, This is a great tool! The majority of government is trying to move to an open license, with GA leading in the geospatial front. What we need to get our heads around is the difference between CCBY 4.0 and ODBL. Community outreach programs would be great, or even potentially working with spatial institutes such as SSSI to encourage OSM in schools. I will take a look at the import list and see whats happening around the world - your right this might shed a light on potential assistance. As Andrew just pointed out access to imagery would also be very beneficial, I will look into this a bit further and see what can be done there (specially ACT to start with). I will start to contact the super users in ACT. Cheers
