huge amounts of Tiger data in OSM - <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place
 w:st="on">USA</st1:place></st1:country-region><br>
<a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/">http://www.openstreetmap.org/</a><br>
Have i missed a blog post, not much on it i can find.<br>
How complete is the conversion? looks like most of it to me (looking in random
places)<br>
congratulations hopefully this will enlarge the user base <br>
<br>
think a blog post on the Mapperz site is deserved. 'Tiger, Tiger 
Everywhere - Open Street Map'<br>
<br>
Suggestion: on the OSM site can you have a map with the coverage area - it's
getting harder to work out which areas in the world are covered and which are
not (it's good thing really).<br>
<br>
I wasn't expecting this until August 2008 (from the stats on conversion way
back)<br>
<br>
The whole OSM is really starting to make real impact!<br>
