Hi,
I'm also prepared to contribute to finish this task and improve the CAR-map.
The WRI road-dataset isn't that big but it's not an easy task and still a
lot of work. I'm not sure a few mappers will be enough but it would be nice
to at least be able to start some work. I was just waiting on the
African Republic import of WRI data
Andrew,
Actually I agree, but I discussed this before with some other OSM/HOT people
(It's been so long I don't remember when or who) and it was said that using
inaccurate data might be worse than nothing.
For the CAR specifically I think using the data might

Hi,
Sorry to jump so late into this discussion.
Actually I am waiting for an answer from the imports list since Mid May. I
put it below.
So we would like to know if in the case of using a ODbL compatible dataset

In answer to your question on imports, I think the general consensus is
that tracing from bing and then copying attributes from this dataset would
not be considered an import, it is merely a second source of data used in
manual mapping.
One other thing to consider is the 'utilsplugin2' which has
Severin,
The nodes are re-used by the 'replace geometry' tool. So what it does is
when you select the two ways and run the tool it takes the old way and
tries to 'move' as many of the old nodes (with their ID numbers in the DB)
to the positions you chose for your new way, as well as copying over
