[Talk-us] Tiger "Lakes"

[Mike N.]

I was unable to get the Python script dependencies resolved on Windows 64. 
It was much easier to set them up in *ix.   As written, they use an atomic 
rename function that is not implemented on Python/Windows and would need 
further modification.

   I have the conversion set up as a batch and can provide .OSM files that 
you can upload from JOSM (with or without edits).   I'm trying to upload NHD 
into areas that are being actively mapped.

   I'm also working with another user to set up a web service that will take 
an NHD .ZIP file and produce the .OSM NHD suite of data.   This will require 
continued improvements for robustness and error reporting that I'm trying to 
feed back into the scripts on the SVN server.
