    <p>Hm, I like your idea. That's actually good, at least who sees the
      changeset and wants to check what i was working from, can go to
      the import page and see the details. But i want to hear from
      others too. Many people use different sources. Probably it's a
      good solution if i used the source tagging I used, since then it
      makes DWG aware that it's not a<tt>n</tt> undiscussed matter.<br>
    </p>
    <p>I'm preparing the dataset and then send here to the import list
      to so you can take a quick glimpse on it and review it but i'll
      send to my West Virginian friend too, so he sees the stuff.<br>
      <br>
      I'm trying to follow the guidelines of the importing.<br>
