I think we all agree that reaching 100% completeness with a collection of people doing diverse surveying methods (and even aerial tracing) is much better than reaching 90% completeness by importing. (The OS data is not 100% complete so it can never take us all the way to 100%, except by the limited metric of comparing ourselves to OS.) But you are leaving out the third possibility which is an area stuck at 40% completion, which doesn't have a vibrant community either. -- Ed Avis <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
