| Fixing Jakarta's boundaries (Part I) | Each village=DESA in indonesia contains Community Group (Rukun Warga=RW) which contains smaller Neighborhood Unit (Rukun Tetangga= RT), the RTs sometimes are just a couple of streets-length. |

| Fixing Jakarta's boundaries (Part I) | Hi ff5722, the source was already the OSM data that HOT Indonesia had uploaded in opensstreetmap with permission from the local authorities of Jakarta for a local project concerning yearly floodings. That is: I didn’t find the data online. In case of any doubts concerning the license, you should contact them. |

| New script to convert SHP into OSM relation boundaries (SHPtoOSMBoundaries.py) | Thanks katpatuka, I added the link of the diary (which for the moment serves as script information) to the Advanced: Conversion tools of that wiki article. And also here: boundary=administrative#See_also |

| New script to convert SHP into OSM relation boundaries (SHPtoOSMBoundaries.py) | Thanks woodpeck, I fixed the images and added more careful warnings before any user will decide to upload new boundaries. The polyshp2osm.py script does a good job converting all the features from a SHP to a OSM file but it doesn’t work with administrative levels, being able to decode upper admin_levels in the SHP file(which is required most of the times with the boundary SHP files) and joining them together into multiple OSM relation administrative boundaries. |

| African Roads and a Western Bias in Mapping | Hopefully you can use the tag tracktype=* for tagging the quality of each segment in each road and hopefully more apps and maprenders will make use of that tag later on(like the one in your route calculator). |
