I doubt this. It may take longer, but without an active community imported data in these areas would anyway be useless.

This was never the project idea and neither it should be in the future. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
