A few comments: - It doesn't look like you consulted with the imports@ list before you did the imports in the Czech republic. Did you at least consult with the local community? - If you want to proceed with proposing this import you're going to need to consult with the local communities of each country you want to import into. - The data you've imported so far (e.g. http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/2212507) needs serious clean-up. This tagging should have been reviewed. A revert might be easiest. - You might be best providing this as a data layer of some kind. _______________________________________________ Imports mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/imports
