[OSM-talk] immutable=yes Fwd: DEC Lands

[Douglas Furlong]

I believe back on the 10th of March Russ said in three seporate emails that
he would upload the data, monitor the changes (dealing with associated
conflicts) and report back here with his findings.
I am fairly certain in another email shortly after he said he's now done it.

potlatch, JOSM and merkaartor already support several external data
sources (yahoo! imagery, gpx points, WMS, etc...)

if your data source is useful to a significant number of people then
they (or you) will add support to the editors.

in my opinion your arguments for a unified interface to GIS data are
not compelling. on the other hand, i don't see any disadvantage to
adding DEC lands data to OSM. in the end it reduces to: do you want to
import and maintain this data, including the responsibility of
resolving mistakes and disputes with other community members, or would
you prefer to just debate the point endlessly on this list?

cheers,

matt
