Question: reduce GeoJson sizes / cleanup coast

[HugoGresse]

Hi!

We are working to integrate the plants distributions from WGSRPD in Pl@ntNet services. (level2)

We are finalizing the work on our end but still have some issues:

1. The coast definition are not exact at all. For example, in Marseille, France, part of the city is outside France:
   
   And for Corsica, France:
   

2. The amount of details on other coasts are at the same time big and not very accurate:
   
   This results in very low performance when trying to display the GeoJson en embedded map on mobile devices.

My question is, would you be open to accept PR which improve this?

• reduce the amount of point on coasts
• keep every country land within the boundary of the defined area

Hi @HugoGresse, I'm not maintaining the standard, but that seems like a good idea. Thanks for your contribution!

[HugoGresse]

Thanks you @peterdesmet for the quick answer.

Would updating only the .geojson and not the other formats be ok on your side? I mean would you be able to merge a PR doing only that?

[peterdesmet]

Yeah, I think reducing the size of geojson only would be fine. Also notifying maintainers @tdwg/wgsrpd @PacoPando and @NicBailly.
