-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, Pierre:
I wonder if you thought about replacing the names on the residential polygons by a node in their centroid automatically using a script. I created one for a similar task: the import of place names for several states in North Nigeria, still a work in progress [1]. For that, I wrote a script that extracts the names of the places and creates an osm file with the nodes. If needed, I can tweak the code to make one for this ebola task. Cheers, Rafael.
