That sounds like a plan,
I'm watching the data Stats
http://www.openstreetmap.org/stats/data_stats.html
so it's easy to see who these big players are.
and it's also easy to guess who will be importing the most.
As we know that everyone does make sure to contact local mappers and
(most likely) it is their own work that they are going over top of, so
they know the area well.

For now, i'm trying to not tempt myself to start speratic importing :)
As im working on doing the Garmin Map conversion, which serves as a
'temporary relief map'.
So (hopefully) other mappers & end-users, will be able to use this,
then it will ALSO make it easier for those of use who are doing the
mega-importing,

Also,
This is another thing that we can go over for the Vancouver Mapping
party, (as we'll be on the #osm-ca IRC at the same time.  (for those
who are in other parts of the country).   Perhaps we can brain storm
and debate a little bit about ideas.

Cheers,
Happy Mapping
P.S.   092/082 is now available,  please jump in IRC while mapping, as
were here to help :)  Yupee :)
