Hi all, Sorry but my french is not that good and for international reference (sharing experience), I will write in english. I've been touring around in Gent and the surroundings, mapping with GPS and drawing routes from it for some months now. When I jumped in, some people had already done an awful lot of work and there is still a lot of work to be done, but sector by sector we are getting nearer something that is acceptable as a map. People who are also mapping in Gent, please contant me (especially Sebastiaan and Johandkosm who appear to be quite active but also all the others...) Since the weather is very nasty to ride a bike, I turned my attention more toward the programming part. I feel that we might benefit from some bulk uploads. One that is certainly feasable is the european Corine Land cover 2000: that gives information about land use. on the website http://www.eea.europa.eu/themes/landuse/clc-download I read that "*The information in under copyright of EEA and in the public domai* n..." People from France have done this for the dataset of 2006, but that is not yet in the public domain. In France they were allowed to use that data set (see http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-fr/2009-May/009070.html), but I think the NGI won't even consider doing that. In the import section they describe how to do it. Do you all think it is worth it? I have got some more plans, but I promise I want do any bulk uploads without consulting you ;-)
