<p dir="auto">For what it's worth, I didn't find the <a href="https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/blob/master/CONFIGURE.md#populating-the-database">directions to populate the database in the Configure.md docs</a> too cumbersome. So, one alternative might be to flesh out the docs with options for referentially complete imports instead of having a single rake task.</p>
