This sounds great so far. I like the idea of doing three separate imports (address, building, and poi). Of course, as Frederik mentioned, the Wiki should reflect these changes in the original plan if we decide to implement them.
As for the community engagement part, I am down for bringing Maptime Miami alive again! We used to organize these events monthly and we reached a couple students from the greater Miami area. We also had quite a few participants from other groups, such as Code for Miami. I too think that it would be beneficial to reach as many people as we can and introduce them to OSM. Maybe we can also come up with a more beginner friendly way of dividing the county into TM tasks. Currently, they might be too big for someone new to OSM. I believe we could use my old tool [1] to pre-process the buildings. In addition to the initial list Leif started to put together in his other mail (height conversion, overlap checks, etc), we will also need to look for other things (i.e. buildings overlapping with the road/railway network). Other quality checks should include eliminating geometry errors and others. For example, the Large Building dataset from 2 years ago contained several self intersecting buildings that need to be fixed. The tool [1] should be able to catch/fix these issues and is also expandable in case we need to implement something else. I'm happy to do this part. I have not given the POI import much thought yet but it sounds good if we can come up with a feasible plan. It seems that the original plan changed quite a bit. I'm wondering if we should regroup and discuss everything before moving on to the next step instead of jumping right in the process? Maybe we should have an informal discussion on Slack or something before coming back to the mailing list with a final plan.
