there is different imports going on, some of them for years now. Data is split up in small chunks and uploaded by local mappers after a manual merge in JOSM. As far as I have seen the imports seem to be listed, but if they weren't I'd rather ask the people doing the import to list them then asking DWG to delete. There have also been mapping parties to improve the imported material. Recently some of the mappers doing the import wrote on the italian list that he had been approached by someone who wrote having detected suspicious things happening and asking him to discuss on the imports list and that his imports might get deleted. These imports are openly discussed on the italian mailing list for years (I guess they started even before the imports mailing list was set up) and there seems broad consensus by the local mappers (at least those that write in the list) to do them. I agree it is necessary in some areas of the world (where there is no local community) to check for death data poured in automatically, but even if I am not totally convinced that these Italian imports are a good thing, I do believe that the local community wants them. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ legal-talk mailing list legal-talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk
