The purpose of this email is to announce a plan to import a subset of
approximately 10,000 of those features.

Thanks in advance for any feedback you have.
Hello,
You are proposing to use bulk_upload.py. Have you tested it on the dev
servers? It is known for being tricky. You will also need to make sure
that your changesets are a reasonable size, probably under 10 000.
I reviewed the .osm file, and noted a few things
- Some features have a name of (disused) and appear disused
- I selected random dams, and about 30-40% didn't have any sign of water
on Bing. I'm aware of the cyclical nature of water features in
Australia, but several of them showed no signs of water nor did they
seem like a likely location to have a new dam built.
- Other features did not have a great accuracy rate, although it is
harder to tell wetlands from the air
- Many features are badly overnoded (e.g. the water at -34.21985
140.35764). A simplify with a 2m threshold in JOSM brought the number of
nodes down ten-fold for some features.
- Best practice would not be to include datasa:FEATURECOD and
datasa:OBJECTID
- Opinion is divided on if source is necessary with a source tag on the
changeset
- What kind of plans are there for updates?
