[OSM-talk] All countries extracts

[Kirill Bestoujev]

Dear All!

I'm currently truing to create a system to produce extracts of all 
countries of the world and maintain them in an up-to-date state.

The extracts are created by cutting the planet with osmosis. The 
polygons used are made from countries borders taken from OSM.

Please have a look at the extracts at:
http://routing.osm.rambler.ru/extracts/world.php

You can find there the extract in osm.pbf format, the link to the .poly 
file used, the link to the border relation used. Not all countries are 
present there for the moment due to some errors in scripts. That will be 
fixed.

I would be grateful for bug reports - first of all on the accuracy of 
extraction, correct borders and so on.

Please keep in mind that for performance purposes osmosis is run with 
omitmettadata=true, so no date, changeset or author information will be 
found in the extracts. This is a temporary measure.

This is currently an beta-stage, so the extracts are a little bit outdated.

I know I am not the first one to create extracts, but more is never 
worse that less :)
