[Talk-ca] Canada Data Import Status

[Sam Vekemans]

Because its a 'boundary' it can go over water/land, just as the
canada/provinces do.
As long as the nodes dont actually touch the water/land/coastline etc.
accept (adjacent town/city boundaries, which may get imported too if
its available).

I would still use caution, thats why i recommend making the .osm file
available BEFORE importing. That way, others can help copy over the
stuff too.
It may take longer, (2,000 nodes at a time) but we ensure accuracy this way.

Hope that makes sence, (as we still need to review the tags you used).
Its alot easier to fix the tags BEFORE importing, and re-convert the
province.osm files and make the new version available than AFTER.

imo :-)

cheers
Sam
