[talk-au] South Australia Suburb Boundries

[Daniel O'Connor]

Did the bits to produce .osm files (again on github); suitable to open up
and view in JOSM.

I spot checked two areas near me that I know well, and the accuracy is
pretty high.

http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/241675341
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/241667279

I guess this discussion probably does want to head over to the imports list
shortly.

Any volunteers to help write up a fairly complete plan? I really don't
fancy doing ~3000 suburb boundaries one by one in JOSM and checking them
all myself; on top of doing all of the writeups/status updates/etc.
Also, I have overseas travel in the coming weeks; so am likely to vanish
half way through the conversation unless there's at least one other mapper
with ownership.
