[Talk-ca] GeoBase Tile 084 area complete :)

[Sam Vekemans]

Hi Steve,I wrote a note on my diary entry, letting everyone know this great
news.
As i saw you updated the wiki status, showing the second tile is now
 complete.

As i'm sure everyone is noticing, a bit of slowness with OSM. ... So i think
(IMO) I think a best bet is to have to-be-uploaded tile ready, update the
wiki with your status, (perhaps say "ready to be imported" (so then know
one else also claims the area by mistake).  .. and just hold on to the file
until this "Hardware upgrade" has happened.

I don't know, maybe thats not the best answer?, Perhaps someone can help
explain just how big is the geobasetile#.osm file (in megabites) that the
average area covers?   I'm sure it DOES very from tile to tile.  But perhaps
giving an example so it can be visualized, just how much data were going to
be importing.

Dale:  Perhaps you know how big all of Canada and each provinces shape file
NRN dataset is?
and maybe also (if you know) how big the NHN is? And CanVec?  ... (i know
it's ALOT) but i think it would be a good idea to get a close estimate. :)

Frederik: Who is the best person to ask about this? .. What would be the
recommended fastest pace without overloading the already overloaded
servers?


Thanks,
