OK, I'm having a sleepless night and my mind was wandering. It passed briefly over crowd-sourced uploading of the data if whoever sets up the account can share login or create multiple logins (I have the May 2011 TM Vectormap stuff here). But then I remembered what was involved with using the original release and wondered if things have changed. I refer mainly to reprojecting from OSGB to WGS84, which required manual tweaks to every .prj file [1]. Would this need doing before upload, or is it something that is now (but not deployed yet) automated within Potlatch 2?
