[OSM-talk] LV region border import

[Lauris Bukšis-Haberkorns]

Hi,

  I wanted to ask how I should better import city and region borders.
I contacted Latvia geospatial information agency and they sent me
newest data and allowed to import them into OSM. Only thing they asked
for was that there is reference to them and they agreed that specially
created user (http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/L%C4%A2IA) that I
would do import with is fully enough. My main concern is should I
import data as is or optimize this data as they are quite detailed?
Also each region border is one separate polygon. Should I merge
neighbour region nodes and import seperate border lines or again
should I leave data as is?

P.S. Who should I contact to ask to create talk-lv mailing list?
P.S.S. Sorry for my engish :D
