I see. Well, it is just a test, and I have only done some test data. I can remove them, and of course, I am asking here first to make sure we have this discussion. > > The reason: Wikipedia uses sources for the geo data that are deemed > unsafe by the OSM community and which might expose OSM to (unnecessary) > legal risks.

I would like to do that. Ask i mean. We dont need to put the data on the main osm server. I am fine with hosting my own wikipedia osm dataset server. The goal would be to limit the scope of this to the kosovo area, I would like to put all the cities and historical sites on osm. thanks, mike _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
