So I had this pleasant experience and now I'm emailing the imports group.
I received a donation from the Athens County Georgia with their building
foot print data. I received it yesterday. Apparently I ran afoul of Paul
Norman and he blocked my efforts. So I've emailed Paul and since I
haven't heard back from him - I'll email the group. Paul - feel free to
respond since you haven't answered my messages.
I've done bulk uploads before. No problem. So apparently this is a
problem - and here's my problem. I can't imagine I'm bringing anything
new to the table - but according to Paul's conversation with geocak this
is the law. Although the import page on teh wiki lists there are no
rules - just guidelines - we seem to havegotten thought all of them but #8.
The data was donated yesterday. Data prep started yesterday.
Paul is concerned about the license - it was donated. No one here is
going to understand if I start sputing GPL/CC-By-SA or ODBL. If I can
show a good use of the data - then that is very likely to happen/become
public. It's the south - so "here's our data" is about as GPL CC-By-SA
as it's going to get. Period.
Since the editathon is this weekend - I'm not spending the better part
of a week arguiing the merits of building foot print data. I needed to
show progress today - it's building foot print data - not addresses or
anything else.
Paul - it appears you are removing geocak's data without talking to me.
I've asked you twice to talk to me and you refuse - I find this
extremely unacceptable. I expect a discussion with you at some point.
