Hi, Brian, Thanks for the legal link, this is what we figured as well. I might just put it in the Wiki so it'll be stated explicitly. (Will update the Wiki in general and will make some sample *.osm files available throughout the weekend). If you want to join the conversation, you can find us at the #osm-bulk-import channel of Code For Miami's Slack [1].
I just checked on the number of mappers and indeed it's surprising. I found ~40+ users submitting changesets in the county this year. That's way better than I thought... As for the other email in the thread by Frederik (which for some reason I can't reply directly), Our logic is that the whole import process will drive more attention towards OSM (and towards collaborative mapping in general). Then by making use of this increased attention, we can run a successful manual review process, possibly together with organized Maptime events where we can actually teach people how to map. We really think that this is the thing (first of its kind in Miami) that will engage people in mapping. So, it's really not the scripts that will build the community, but the the remaining buildings that need to be reviewed by humans. We talked about it multiple times and it's not feasible to do the whole import manually with local mappers. We don't think we can reach enough locals to implement an approach similar to `labuildings` and `nycbuildings`. We'll have a clearer picture of the state of the mapping community down here once the import is done, though. And if it looks good, then we can proceed with mapping parties (or other imports executed entirely by humans).
