I don't think that the update offers you a guaranteed answer. In part because mappers are still busy remapping. On the other hand, perhaps your mapping party does not need to be after the license switch? If before, you'll be replacing data seamlessly with fresh data. If after, you'll be adding fresh data in an area that is lacking. The major scheduled downtime has been completed, so you could even have your mapping party during the redaction process. You'll want to save edits often while the redaction bot is running to avoid edit conflicts. But that's good advice for a mapping party anyway, since there is more likelihood of another editor active at the same time. :-) _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
