I disagree. Silence won't solve anything. I'm speaking here as a local BC mapper, and I strongly disagree with these recent imports. I thought we had a general consensus that we'd discuss this as a community and figure things out before restarting the import, but it seems that some mappers don't like having to wait or deal with other people. Considering that Danny seems to consider orthogonal buildings to be outright wrong (a position that I strongly disagree with and I think some others do too), there's clearly still some discussion required before imports can be started again. Sure, you could go ahead and import anyway contrary to other community members' wishes, but that sure won't make you any friends and you run the risk of having your changesets reverted if the data quality is too poor or violates the import guidelines.
Please, please, please, let's hammer things out first before we import any of this data. The buildings aren't going anywhere, so there's no need to rush poor data into the database. If you're itching to map some things, go for a walk and map some addresses and businesses near you.

In terms of the DWG, this has all happened so fast - the referral to the DWG was less than 2 hours after the initial message, and was not in response to any actual edits I made after receiving Pierre's stop message. I suggest that we all stop emailing this list for the rest of the day, given the high level of tension on both sides. I will not be importing anything for the next week (at the very least), and I don't think anyone else will either.
