You can find information on the dev server at >http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Using_the_dev_server. Hello Paul (or anyone else), I've found I still have an account on the dev server. However, how do I login to the postgres database? I've tried the normal means of logging into the DB: psql -U gis gis and that doesn't work (failed authentication): do I need a password? Also, is it ok if I import processed_p.shp coastlines (as SQL) and Ordnance Survey LandForm PANORAMA contours to the DB - or would that overload the server? Thanks, Nick
