By "database" i assume you mean "mailing list". Though i'd argue a mailing list is a poor resource to learn from. Who wants to read years worth of arguments, to learn an import process? The best place for that is the wiki. I just added links to prior US imports and a lessons learned section to the DC import wiki page [1] I also argue that the MappingDC mailing list is not private. It's open to anyone. However it is focused on DC and i take your point about it being localized and it's harder to share information with the larger community. Would you say import-us is a better mailing list to use? I know of one DC person who had a eureka moment when he discovered several months late, that the DC import discussion was on imports and not imports-us.
