<p class="MsoNormal">Hello, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As mentioned in a recent email, it seems that the import of topographic data from Land Infomation New Zealand (LINZ) was never formally announced on this mailing list.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There have been various discussions about the import on this mailing list, but as a whole, there was no formal announcement.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The import began around 2010, and covers New Zealand, its outer islands, Niuç, Tokelau, the Cook Islands, the Ross Dependency of Antarctica, and the waters around Sâmoa and Tonga.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">All the documentation and tagging is available on the main wiki page:
<a href="https://wiki.osm.org/LINZ">https://wiki.osm.org/LINZ</a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The process used between 2009 and 2017 is documented here: <a href="https://wiki.osm.org/LINZ/Howto">

<p class="MsoNormal">The process used since 2021 is documented here: <a href="https://wiki.osm.org/Import/LINZ_Topo50_Continuation">
