They are far from spot on. While retyping them I certainly found gaps. I just need to be better about stopping and writing instead of lying to myself about my ability to remember. I have a list of things I have to recheck. Because I can retype the notes faster than I can draw everything in JOSM my memory is fresher at the time I retype the notes. I think it will be a good idea to retype them even if I don't do the JOSM editing, so I don't think I'm making extra work for myself. If someone uses my notes I would like to check what they did, and I was going to ask people to check what I've done. -- http://bowlad.com _______________________________________________ Newbies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/newbies
