Martin, This looks like a great project.
Can you clarify the situation in London? I don't really know what areas the "SuperLondonBorough" sets cover. I added some hints to the wiki as to where each of them open, then went from the one that starts in Sydenham to pan up to my neck of the woods and found there were a few odds and ends of orange lines, but it has taken quite a bit of panning around to locate them. It would be really helpful if the snapshot server could render a map showing where the remaining unmerged data is located. I am also having trouble merging data where some streets also have ways for admin boundaries, and Potlatch selects the boundary rather than the street. Any tips much appreciated.
