I am pretty sure that Catastro is doing good job also with the updates. Perhaps we should start seriously to think about alternative ways for utilising foreign data together with OSM data and not just import and merge everything that is available. It can be pretty hard to update the imported, merged and perhaps user enhanced data with the updates coming from the original data provider. But if the data will not be updated OSM will have a partly enhanced but also partly outdated snapshot of data. The aim should be up-to-date and user enhanced data. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
