Hi all, Such great feedback from my latest 'rant: importing GeoBase nodes' Thanks :) What this did was sparked some major issues that need to be addressed. I think this is more important, than going deeper on that rant.
I created a new wiki page "Importing Government Data" http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Importing_Government_Data This is a way for us all can try to summerize the issues, and answer the questions that would (most likely) be asked from any country / region considering importing government data. The section i didn't expand on is about the scripts used in actually importing the data these can be shown on the page. (hopefully people can help out) http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Government_Data_Import_Script Because there are a lot of overlap in the past discussions, hopefully this page will be able to compare the issues from TIGER & AND, as well as the other import projects (that i'm not aware of) I hope that i touched on most of the issues raised. Please to edit the wiki page, and reply back, as comments are how this project will keep going :) I'll get back to you all when i figure out a better solution than the 'nodes import' idea. :) Cheers, Sam Vekemns Across Canada Trails _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
