[OSM-talk-be] Arrondissement Verviers boundary

[Sander Deryckere]

As a reply,

yes, I have seen the work of Verdy_p, and I know Marc (he taught me how to
trace boundaries). But as this was about more like a tagging question (and
not a technical one), I wanted to get a broader opinion.

I only did borders in West-Flanders, so I didn't really care about the
rest, but since I would like to use the other boundaries in Belgium too
now, I wanted to investigate the quality (or at least the presence). That's
how I got to that Verviers issue.

I don't think Marc can (and should) help here. He has had enough problems
with that guy.


I'll look to bring Verviers back to the normal state later.

Regards.
