Top of the morning to everyone :-) Carol - your work 100 % welcome.
The main issue is that OSM.org's import guidelines are not clear. They don't state clearly what the expected etiquette is to procede with an Import. Start with a Google search and note how long it's going to take you to get to a place where 'consult on [email protected]' or similar are mentioned. In the middle of a novel-length document that says 'These guidelines are not definitive - they are not laws' in its intro :p https://www.google.com/search?q=import+openstreetmap ## Here's what we should do The most important thing that is needed is to state clearly what's expected. We can iterate and improve the rest of the documentation from there. Here's what I propose for Import/ and Import/Guidelines: http://piratepad.net/VtVLz2lGwC We can then link to there from osm.us Like the plan? ## Next actions - Improve pirate pad text, make the text tight. - Run this by imports@ - Update wiki On Mon, Nov 4, 2013 at 9:42 AM, Melelani Sax-Barnett <[email protected]>wrote: > Hi all, > > Sorry if I broke any etiquette, I was just trying to suggest inline > changes in the way that I would usually edit a doc.
