Hi
As we now need to merge the national boundaries with the ones of our friendly neighbours the following questions come up:
Which boundary way is to be considered more exact?
- Switzerland/Italy It seems our boundaries are better. I suggest to remove the italien ones. The italien boundaries are still tagged with the old country:left country:right scheme instead of multipolygons. Should we leave it that way, just replacing the national boundary way?
- Switzerland/Austria
- Switzerland/Germany The existing boundaries are very close to the newly imported ones as far as I've seen. Suggestions?
- Switzerland/France
Has anybody already made contact to our friendly neighbours. Might be nice to do so, before we mess around with their boundaries.

I've started to replace the boundaries around Graubuenden, ours seem slightly more detailed and the existing Italian ones are from a census, which I expect to be less accurate. I think Thomas said that the Italiens agreed. I did not reapply the country:* tags because that seemed to be some old artifact. There are boundary relations for all administrative levels in Italy.
- Switzerland/Austria
That should be finished already. (For Graubuenden it was actually done already, I assume by our friendly neighbours.)
- Switzerland/Germany

- Switzerland/France
Don't know about those two. But if they are very close then it really doesn't matter. Just leave the one that is more detailed.

Hi all,

- Switzerland/Austria
I wrote to the Italian and the Austrian mailing list some time ago and they basically both said it's okay to replace their borderlines.

I think Benis statement is true for both, DE and FR. So I'd also suggest to take the one that 'looks' better.

Hello all.

I just do the boundary Fr/Vaud and I keep the old boundary because it look better.

Hi
It is kind of annoying to edit the boundary relation, then spending time to solve conflicts, updating to upload again just to see that there is already a new version on the server. maybe we should do some kind of "lock" on the wiki page for the swiss boundary relation? just a short notice on top of the table.
