Hi all,
james pointed to how when road data is added to a once barron area, it
gets noticed, so people in the area start fixing (regardless of what
future imported data will be)

Richard D. commented about how long it will take to import the data.
The answer is that its directly proportional to two things.
1- the technical barrier - the easier the instructions are to 'go
through the steps'. And
2-  the number hands available todo the work.

So when i start importing canvec data, it would make sence to eithor;
A - go ahead and start importing the shape files that only have 1 feature.
Because we know that 2 (above) is true, the mappers WILL become
available as the steps get easier.
Or
B - continue to figure out how to get this python or Java script
figured out, so to be able to detect conflicts.

For now im going with B, until i get too frusterated :-)

cheers,
Sam
