Would someone have enough resources to convert all of the TIGER 2010 shapefiles into OSM XML data and load that into a blank OSM database with a new Mapnik instance (with a custom style) as well? That way you could use the TIGER 2010 data as a background in JOSM or Potlatch for people to review the data at least and perhaps could be used to manually trace new data into OSM. > What steps can we take to move the shapefiles in to OSM > format? How can we collaborate on the mapping to OSM tags? I'd start with getting a wiki page set up with the types of information that is stored in the TIGER 2010 shapefiles. -- Jeff Ollie _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
