Thanks for clarifying.

I'm not very familiar with projections so a little more clarity would
be useful for me. As potlatch 'understands' OSGB, is loading an OSBG
shp file any more expensive than loading a WGS84 shp file?

If it is, it may be worthwhile reprojecting all the files. This would
also have the advantage of making the mirror useful for those of us
who simply refuse to stop using JOSM, despite all the awesome you keep
piling into potlatch.
