Is that 'validator' run AFTER the file has been converted? or  during the
process??

And Ian,
I (think) it's Christopher Schmidt, according to the blog.  As i think that
the original shp2osm was also created by hi <crschmidt at crschmidt.net>m (but
now it's all a blur as many others have made derivatives of it :)

Anyway, We should hold a Skype conference about this topic.
there is also http://tinychat.com/  which looks pritty easy to setup.
Using 'VHCapture' it's possable to share whats going on on your screen
(instead of the camera video).  This way, people can demoe what they are
talking about.
(i'll be hosting a uStream.tv broadcast to test it out)

I'm happy to host it. Skype 'samvekemans'

Hows sunday nov 22nd at noon PST (3pm EST) .. and 8 or 9pm Europe Time?

Cheers,
Sam
