Please be advised that the import guidelines require discussion of your
proposal, not just announcing it. Hence please be patient with uploading
anything, to give people a chance to review the material.

I have three questions:

1. Where is the boundary data thaty you plan to import? You have
published a python script but, as far as I can see, neither input nor
output files.

2. Rivers, roads, villages - if past experience with imports is any
guide, then some people *will* disregard your recommendation to only use
these as a rough guide and rely on the imagery; some people will
certainly want to go the quick and effortless route and operate by the
"upload now, and someone else can fix it later" paradigm. Can we compare
OSM data to the rivers/roads/villages file you have created and, if we
encounter OSM data that is 100% identical, then delete that because it
is obviously an import that ignores the plan?

3. The wiki page talks of forests but no forest dataset is ever
mentioned anywhere - just boundaries, rivers, roads, and villages. What
about forests?

Bye
Frederik
