Cool stuff - great that you have some time available to document
stuff! Rather than having two pages explaining how to do the same
thing, how about combining your instructions for, for example,
contours in postgis with what's already on the wiki elsewhere? Or
making separate pages for separate things (e.g. qgis) rather than one
mammoth page covering everything?

I must point out though that the SRTM data from cgiar.org you are
using isn't compatible with the OSM license - you're either breaching
their license or ours by combining them. They don't allow commercial
reuse of their void-filled data, and we don't allow you to prohibit
commercial reuse. :-(

It's a pity, but I don't know of any void-filled data that's under PD
license or any open-source void filling code at the moment.

Anyway, good stuff.

Cheers,
Andy
