Hi,

Firstly, thanks to DaveCor, and contributors, to this page 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Ireland/Mapping_Townlands + videos. 
What an incredible resource to have!

I've made a start on Clare (around areas I kind of know). Three quick 
questions that I can't find the answers to yet:

1) Having mapped over 35 control points, in Map Warper, and using the 
Warp button, it all looks OK. Is that image then rectified/updated in 
real-time (i.e. I should see it within seconds in JOSM when turning on 
the Ir/Br War Office layer), or do I need to do something to trigger it 
being published? It looks fine in both, but I've only done very minor 
edits / add new CPs, so I can't tell the difference!

2) In MapCraft, I've changed the status for the tile I'm working on to 
8/0 (because I've more than 30 CPs). Am I responsible for changing to 
9/9 (avail. on Ir Tile Server), or do I need to do something / notify 
someone that I think it's good to go?

3) Where's best to put a link that might be helpful to others interested 
in mapping CE townlands (there are others, right?!).. would that be in 
the aforementioned Wiki page, or somewhere else? It's only one link (a 
CE Co. Co. map of townlands, approximate locations which can make it 
easier to find those blurred dotted lines!).

Thanks again for the learning resources!
