[OSM-talk] Errors on the API

[Andy Robinson]

Personally I can live with some platform problems in the short term. Since
OSM is all about data held I think the TIGER import should continue, albeit
that the rate of propagation may have to be adjusted (as it has temporarily
been this last week).

Cheers,

Andy
