Errrrr, no. Anything that someone might ADD to the map should be, if imported, in the same place. Otherwise, someone will fire up their editor, not see the data that already been imported, and start to add it. No better way to piss off a volunteer than to waste their time. Yes, there are problems with this approach. We need to solve them, not run away from them. We'll just create worse problems if we try to avoid solving this problem. We ALREADY have to deal with it with the TIGER import. Neither that data, nor the edits made to it, are going to be exiled from the database into this proposed "bulk import data layer". -- Russ Nelson - http://community.cloudmade.com/blog - http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:RussNelson r...@cloudmade.com - Twitter: Russ_OSM - http://openstreetmap.org/user/RussNelson _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
