What u have is great! It was only a few nodes with no source tags, which is why i wondered.
You might want to create a wiki page for it, and a chart indicating all the tags your using. It looks like the tag format is right, but because its a bulk import, it needs to be added to the 'potential data sources' list. -and also have time for community feedback. Let me know when u have vancouver island/ bc loaded, will be great to see. :) Cheers, Sam On 6/16/09, Daniel Patterson <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Sam, > > I have to admit, I probably haven't been a good netzien as I could have > been with this import.
