Hi Steve,<div>I wrote a note on my diary entry, letting everyone know this great news.</div><div>As i saw you updated the wiki status, showing the second tile is now complete.</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/acrosscanadatrails/diary/5040">http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/acrosscanadatrails/diary/5040</a><br>
</div><div><br></div><div>As i'm sure everyone is noticing, a bit of slowness with OSM. ... So i think (IMO) I think a best bet is to have to-be-uploaded tile ready, update the wiki with your status, (perhaps say "ready to be imported" (so then know one else also claims the area by mistake). .. and just hold on to the file until this "Hardware upgrade" has happened.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I don't know, maybe thats not the best answer?, Perhaps someone can help explain just how big is the geobasetile#.osm file (in megabites) that the average area covers? I'm sure it DOES very from tile to tile. But perhaps giving an example so it can be visualized, just how much data were going to be importing. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Dale: Perhaps you know how big all of Canada and each provinces shape file NRN dataset is?</div><div>and maybe also (if you know) how big the NHN is? And CanVec? ... (i know it's ALOT) but i think it would be a good idea to get a close estimate. :)</div>
<div><br></div><div>Frederik: Who is the best person to ask about this? .. What would be the recommended fastest pace without overloading the already overloaded servers? </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div>
