Okay, 'splain this to me... Let's just say that we have the whole of Canada imported from Geobase. How does an update get processed? ie. Geobase makes a big update to it's database, and we want to update OSM from that? Will there need to be some ID tag on each way so that we don't just create a whole new layer under/over the old?
If this is the case, we need to ensure that these ID tags stay with the ways. If someone goes in, and joins two ways that make up the street in front of his house, because he thinks it really shouldn't be two ways between the three nodes, is this going to be a problem? If we do a mass import, but skip well defined areas like Toronto, does this mean that it's going to need to be skipped forever since the Geobase tags won't be integrated into the skipped area ever? Whatever it means, I'm itching to get more data stuffed into Alberta! I've burnt a couple thousand dollars worth of fuel just putting some of the major highways into the database. I'm hoping there's going to be some way to define an area, and then ask for a Geobase import to be done on that area, and then I just need to go into that area and make sure things imported properly, watching for any errors/duplication.
