But my point is that this isn't a final validation, it's a consultation 
with the community, just as with talk-ug.

Since talk-ug@ is a very quiet list, is there anywhere else the Ugandan 
community uses to talk? e.g. forums, a group elsewhere, FB, etc. With no 
response to the talk-ug@ message, it's hard to know if the locals want 
this or not.

Don't forget the Import_Uganda_Bureau_Of_Statistics_Education_Facilities 
page too.

No, you're requiring people to use two source tags on the changeset, 
which is impossible.

How large a subset? Also, it doesn't really address what I raised.

What  kind of portion will be left?
