Ah yes, the concept of completion as applied to OSM. I believe Sam is referring to the completion of *importing government stuff* for the island. If Sam is referring to actual completion, then I think he needs to review the mythology of Sisyphus [<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sisyphus">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sisyphus</a>]. I need only point to the barrier=fence tag, and that alone will introduce years of mapping yet to come.<br>
<br>On the topic of NHN, I'm trying to come up with a way to recombine Yan's flow data then split it in more geographical regions (something like what Sam mentioned). In preparation of that process, does anyone know of a good way to merge duplicate nodes on the command line? I've been reading Osmosis docs, but can't seem to find a way there. Otherwise we will have to rely on JOSM validator to find dupes for us...<br>

yup im serious :)<br>
2 months is enough to get this little island done and a shining<br>
example of what the rest of the country will be like :)<br>
<br>
<br>
at the rate im going, just 1 tile per day, i'll have most of it done.<br>
so as more people are helping, it gets done faster.<br>
<br>
<br>
note that it's just vancouver island.... the lower mainland is fa more<br>
complex and will take longer.... we already have alot of the vistoria<br>
area and cvrd mostly complete*.<br>
complete enough that you can pick up any tourist map, and see at al<br>
the detailed listedin the map are available in osm.<br>
<br>
<br>
anyway, on irc adam mentione about the geobase nhn, we might be able<br>
to create nts sized pieces of the waer basins, as it only effects this<br>
side of the coast mountains.<br>
<br>
<br>
and for statscan boundaries, waiting until october might be a good idea too.<br>
<br>
<br>
and hey, with more peope working on just 1 tile per day, it'll all get<br>
done in no tine :-)<br>
<br>
<br>
cheers,<br>
