[OSM-talk-be] streetname changes (and a community to-do list)

[joost schouppe]

Hi,

Most of the work on street names has been done already, which you can
admire here:

One more thing to think about: new municipality polygons. I suppose we just
create a new one for each of the new municipalities. But:
- should we map them already as "future boundaries" or do we wait?
- what to do with the old boundaries? We map part-communities at
admin_level=9. Most of the new fusions will already have them. We could
replace them with the current level 8 borders. But since "part communities"
do not exist officially, we can basically just decide what we want to do.
We map them mostly because this is what people know about where they live.
And most definitions of part-communities (though usually vague) start from
"municipalities as they existed in 1976" or similar. My proposal would be:
if there are already part-communities, don't touch them. If there aren't,
downgrade current level 8 to level 9.
