The Brazilian community is well under way with the IBGE Import that started after IBGE confirmed for us that all their data is in the public domain. The main work is done by two persons, while the rest of us in the community are participating with ideas and views on the mailing list.

The Brazilian community have really awaken, and more people are hooking up to OSM to participate in this. I think the more data we get in, the easier it is for new people to tag in. Some people are also actively participating by tracing Yahoo airal photos from Europe or other places in the world (I know Harry Wood have done this a long time, but he is almost a part of the Brazilian community as his missus is from Sao Paulo).

The plans for Y-NOT is further shaped, and I am now trying to get the first code down, so that I can start to test the functions I want.
