That is an open question. Maybe there would be more mappers if all the data was crowdsourced. It is much more fun for many mappers to be the first to draw a road than to fix errors in apparently complete data. But we will never know, what actually would have happened if we didn't import the Tiger. Maybe you're right and there would just be an almost empty map... cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
