Hi Augustin, As someone who has worked with HOT and studied in St. Louis, Senegal, I am excited to see this happen. I have a couple questions and suggestions:
- It's generally preferred to use a create a specific user name for imports and not to use your own account. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Guidelines#Use_a_dedicated_user_account a user name like 2013ARD_STL_IMPORTS for example, would be appropriate. As I understand, it's not necessary to add the tag source=ARD_STL;CSE to each way if you add the source=ARD_STL;CSE to the changeset. For the *"communes" (type point)" -* As nodes*, *they do not need to have admin_level=8 to them. I think just place=* , name=* would be sufficient. * Regarding the * *shapefile "Limite_Communauté_Rurale" *I am not sure if it necessary to add the tag boundary=administrative and admin_level=8 to the member ways. I have seen boundaries where only the relation has tags (for example http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/219920348) but I also have seen boundary=administrative tagged on the relation as well as the relation - as described in http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_France/Tracer_les_limites_administratives#Sur_les_membres_4 *which is listed as a reference in the SN tagging guide - http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/FR:WikiProject_Senegal#Fronti.C3.A8res_administratives * * * Most importantly, If you could send a small example .osm that would consist of the data that you wish to upload, I would greatly appreciate it and would be very helpful to better understand the import. These are just my interpretations of OSM community consensus and existing practice, I hope to hear others' opinions and interpretations as well. Cordialement, Will Skora
