Hi John (et. al.), So the offer has been made by a couple of geographic specialists in a couple of city councils for them to provide an initial data load from their GIS for use by OSM. The question is what do we want (in general); what format should it be in; how is an import facilitated (who can do it)?
I'm happy to build up my skills in this area because I'm an experienced IT guy I think I may be able to add some value to the process and end up being a specialist contact point for people such as this to be put in contact with. So, initially I'm after a bit of hand-holding so I don't appear to be an arrogant noob.
