I'm not sure what the best way to proceed. Proceeding with the node removals will still leave stray nodes as I believe there are false negatives in the license change algorithms used. When I suggested a second run targeting items where all versions were created by one of the accounts it was because the first run had essentially missed some objects. What might be best is reverting the deletion of objects that do not meet the proposed critera, so that we can then carry on normal remapping. Alternately, reverting the deletion of objects that are not imports or imports of highway=secondary or above which would then allow manual remapping to ensure continuity of the major roads network. Proceeding with an automated node removal and including nodes that are members of other objects could leave invalid geometries behind. I know I had to manually check for these when removing imports prior to remapping. The same applies to way removal and including ways that are members of relations. _______________________________________________ Talk-ca mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
