It passed briefly over crowd-sourced uploading of the data if whoever sets up the account can share login or create multiple logins (I have the May 2011 TM Vectormap stuff here). But then I remembered what was involved with using the original release and wondered if things have changed. I refer mainly to reprojecting from OSGB to WGS84, which required manual tweaks to every .prj file [1]. Would this need doing before upload, or is it something that is now (but not deployed yet) automated within Potlatch 2?<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span style='color:black'>Ed<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span style='color:black'>[1] <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Using_OS_Shapefiles#Re-projecting_the_shape_file">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Using_OS_Shapefiles#Re-projecting_the_shape_file</a> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div></body></html>
