On the subject of arkansas, I was working on the norfork lake and the gov hydrology data would be well worth importing....<br><a href="http://www.mail-archive.com/imports@openstreetmap.org/msg00380.html">http://www.mail-archive.com/imports@openstreetmap.org/msg00380.html</a><br>

<br><div>To clarify what I meant about parcel data: I'm assuming you mean parcels in terms of household property boundaries. This data is difficult to fit into the OSM data model because it a) updates frequently and b) has an "official" source that is better to use than OSM. If you can extract addressing from the parcel data then we can use it to do better geocoding, but loading OSM with parcel data puts us closer to a "data dumping grounds" than an active, community-built map.<br>
<br></div></blockquote></div><div><br>For information, in France (65 M inhabitants), we have all the tools to import parcels for about 2 thirds of the territory but we all agreed to not do this for the same reasons as listed above. <br>
