Hi
I'm just now uploading the border for Norway into OSM. The data
source is the CIA World DataBank II, which certainly has some flaws
(pretty inaccurate, and outdated), however I don't think it's any
issue for Norway, as the border hasn't changed much recently, and
it's also mostly far into the woods where it's not all that important
if you're a hundred meters into Norway or Sweden.
Of course anybody is welcome to do a proper trace on foot of the
border, but I personally find 2500km a bit on the long side for a
hike ;)
I'll clean the scripts I used up a bit and create a wiki page
describing the procedure tomorrow.
