Hi maning,<br><br>For your second question, well Ian and I are already converting and implementing the borders in Metro Manila as relations (though the admin_levels are still not finalized).<br><br>For example, see this relation for Brgy. Urdaneta in Makati: <a href="http://openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/103686">http://openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/103686</a><br>
<br>Or this relation for Brgy. Ayala Alabang: <a href="http://openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/110365">http://openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/110365</a><br><br><br>Eugene / seav<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Apr 30, 2009 at 8:16 PM, maning sambale <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:emmanuel.sambale@gmail.com">emmanuel.sambale@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Sounds like a good proposal to me. Do we vote? :)<br>
Let's wait for the others to look into it before we start<br>
implementing. I'm not really sure what is the extent of coverage of<br>
existing admin boundary data that we need to edit to follow this<br>
convention.<br>
<br>
Next question would be, will it be a relation or just regular node/way?<br>
<br>
cheers,<br>

work deadline!<br>
