@andypiper that's awesome. It'll definitely be extremely helpful for Smithereen — I do need a geographical database for several features that a social network of this style "must" have. That's at least the education section in profiles (schools, universities, etc), and venues in events.

I was contemplating how I'm going to try to pull something out of OSM and/or have a community of my users maintain it, now I don't have to. The only problem is that this dataset must be terabytes in size.
