I am here relaying an interesting message from Richard Cantwell of
www.geographic.ie who had originally posted it to help.openstreetmap.org:
----------------------------------
Hi All,
As of today a new country has been born, South Sudan. You can see the
general border of the country on The Guardian DataBlog site here:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/news/datablog/interactive/2011/jul/08/world-map-new-south-sudan
It looks like the UN will formally admit the country as a recognised
state on the 14th July:

If anybody has details of the exact border this might be a nice addition
to the map, as I expect other online maps won't be updated for quite
some time, but perhaps addition should be held off until formal
ratification by the UN.
Thoughts?
