Hello, I wrote a little while back that we would be working on some data imports for Africa. In short, we received permission from 2 different UN data repo's to contribute their base road, river, rail, and admin boundary data to OSM. So far, we have cleaned and imported 6 countries worth of road layers. Next up is to do some final QA, once we can see the data in Potlach, then onto the other layers for each of the 6 countries. And there are still 5 more countries available to us to work on.
I wrote a blog-post about the progess thus far here: http://is.gd/ tTb4 All seemed to go well with the import under the new API, though we had a bit of trouble with DRC (it's a huge file). We've received several emails from folks wanting to help us in this process. Now that we (think) we've got our feet under us, we hope to work with them as we process the remaining data.
