| US/Canada border | Here in Germany, we have a similar problem. At least in Landkreis Miesbach, there are two borders to Austria: one from the Landkreis border import, which is really detailed, and one with the source CIA World Databank II. Unfortunately, the CIA border only consists of nodes, and those are not connected by a way. Fortunately though, they all have a source tag, so it would be rather easy to delete them. |

| OpenLayers Map | I didn’t really know Google MapMaker, I’ve added it to the map now. I know about the bug with the pop-up dialogues, but I haven’t found any fix for it yet. |

| The difference of OSM to other projects | That would be a really cool innovation. It would searching the mailing-list a lot easier if there were links to related discussions on the Wiki pages. |

| Software | Merkaartor hat – soweit ich das bis jetzt entdecken konnte – diese Templates von JOSM nicht. In JOSM sind einige Map Features schon eingebaut, zum Beispiel zum Anlegen einer Adresse. Es öffnet sich dann ein Fenster, in dem du alle möglichen Angaben machen kannst. So braucht man nicht immer die Tags nachschlagen.
Ich empfehle daher Merkaartor zu verwenden, und für kompliziertere Sachen wie Relations eben ab und zu JOSM zu starten. |

| The difference of OSM to other projects | I forgot to mention, what currently also happens very often is that new tagging practices are considered the best on the mailing-list, but pages describing these things aren’t updated on the Wiki and still describe the old practice. People don’t seem do see the Wiki as the standard reference for tagging. |

| The difference of OSM to other projects | RussNelson, I would not remove any of of the methods of communication (although I think a mailing-list and a forum could well be combined, but this is more a general issue than OSM-specific). I only think it would be great if people would discuss their proposals only on the Wiki (and not propose it on the Wiki and discuss it on the mailing-list, the forum and the Wiki simultaneously). If a discussion about any tagging practice is happening on the mailing-list, people should at least write about the results and collect the arguments on the Wiki. One problem that prevents users from doing this at the moment is in my opinion that the Wiki is not structured enough (especially with the mixup of different languages). |

| Datteln Hötting | In JOSM kannst du einen Node setzen, ohne, dass dieser mit einer existierenden Straße verbunden wird, indem du Strg gedrückt hältst. In jedem Fall kannst du die Straße aber neben der anderen malen und dann unter die andere verschieben, sodass keine Kreuzung entsteht. Nicht vergessen, das layer-Tag zu setzen, damit klar ist, welche Straße oben und welche unten ist. |
