[Imports] CanVec/ geobase drop-in mapping party (social impact of imports)

[Sam Vekemans]

Ahh, i see :)

yup, so we need to make available each single tile that has the roads
in there. (as a separate .osm file) & slicing that osm file into a
grid would make it easier to work with in a heavely mapped area).
You can delete what imported data from this tile as you like.
(it can be copied in at any time)
-just contact those people and have a meetup so it can be done in
after a few meetups.
If the group wants to, you can decide what todo locally.

The mappers who did that tracing spent a year doing all that work, and
did a great job. (just as you wouldnt like someone messing with your
work, without talking to you first.

We need to work as a community on this, in some cases its easier to
wipe the local mapper data, but others, its easier to just have the
roads.osm file as the other layer & drop in the suburbs that were
missed.

This is what im doing for Victoria, using the complete.osm file that
Austin made called greater-victoria.osm

sure, it'll take some time todo, but at the November mapping party,
i'll share what i have, and local people can 'claim' there area to
work on.
Many hands make light work.

:)

btw, i cc'd talk-ca@ & imports@ list, i just didnt include your
message to me, as it was off-list.
