Hey Portland Importers, I've been reviewing your code and import procedure since I learned about the import at SOTM. Just want to say it looks really solid! It will be nice to get more address and building polys on the map.
I do have a couple of suggestions that you may want to incorporate into your import schedule, based on what the NYC import team learned. The first is to use something like the HOT tasking manager. It has its drawbacks but it makes it much easier to see what people are doing and to monitor how fast people are importing data. Spreadsheets are also a possibility but make it much harder to monitor users quickly. The HOT manager also serves the dual purpose of two step validation. During the NYC import this proved immensely useful, especially early on. Many of the errors and bugs that were discovered were discovered through this second set of validation. You might also want to put some text to the effect that using separate account for the import is required. Finally, you should choose what you want to do with POIs early on. Are you going to merge them to address nodes, merge them into the buildings, or just leave them alone? We made many small decisions like this and compiled it into a doc - (https://github.com/osmlab/nycbuildings/wiki/Common-issues) so that all contributors could have a standard operating procedure. This made sure everyone was on the same page about editing. Hope these suggestions help!
