Having got the PGS coastline scripts set up on one of my computers it is now
not being used, as I think that between Oliver White and myself, England,
Scotland & Wales have been completed.
I'd like to:
1) import coastline data for parts of the world I have an interest in,
Hawaii & some of the Greek Islands for example;
2) offer to run the import for areas other OSM users might be interested in
I assume there would be no problems with this? The volume of data uploaded
would I guess be low in comparison to TIGER uploads.
I did have a concern that it might slow down mapnik & other renderers, if
they found bits of OSM data scattered around the globe which they then
rendered, but I'm not sure if this is a valid concern, or even if at the
moment the rendering of the whole globe would be attempted automatically
anyway.
