Could someone who is closer to the Tiger work please respond in detail to this request from Mapperz for an update on the Tiger import?
Is it complete? What are the maintenance plans? What outreach plans are there, etc? He runs a well-read blog (as far as I can tell) at: http://mapperz.blogspot.com/ and the publicity would be good for the project. [Entry on London's LEZ today] I am happy to feed him info on the India data import and workshops (and link to Mikel) later this month and see if we can't get some more coverage there too.

How complete is the conversion? looks like most of it to me (looking in random places) congratulations hopefully this will enlarge the user base think a blog post on the Mapperz site is deserved. 'Tiger, Tiger Everywhere - Open Street Map' Suggestion: on the OSM site can you have a map with the coverage area - it's getting harder to work out which areas in the world are covered and which are not (it's good thing really). I wasn't expecting this until August 2008 (from the stats on conversion way back) The whole OSM is really starting to make real impact! Mapperz
