Hi,

Yes, more or less. Given that some people seem to be strongly arguing

I would like to get a feel for how "bad" the situation is and where there
are still "happy, undisturbed" communities left
Well there will certainly be lots of places with NO imports and also NO
community but I don't think that would disprove the theory ;)
Why not do it the other way round - identify places with a vibrant OSM
community, then see if they've had any major imports. I might be stating
the obvious but OSM community is certainly vibrant in most places in
Germany, and imports have certainly played a negligible role in the data
we have.

PS: I don't think the US is going to be a wasteland in terms of OSM
community forever. I just think that without the TIGER import they'd
have less data but much more community today. Then again I'm happy to
admit that at the time the import was done, I thought it was a splendid
idea, along with most others in the project probably - so it would be
totally unfair to blame anyone who worked hard on getting that import done.
