[OSM-talk-be] [Tagging] Zones 30 in Belgium (from )

[Sander Deryckere]

Always take some time, you knew that uploading 1000 POI wasn't going to be
appreciated.

Uploading bugs to OpenStreetBugs is very easy. A few lines of bash or perl
code would do
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OpenStreetBugs/API_0.6#addPOIexec

But the problem isn't in uploading to OSB or OSM, it's checking if there
isn't already a speed limit present. The OSM database shouldn't be filled
with duplicate data if the data is already okay.  For OSB, this might be
less of a problem, but it's still not wanted.

Does anyone see a way on how to achieve this?

Regards,
Sander
