In general this looks fine but there are a few issues: - without seeing the data it is not possible to judge the quality and suitability for import. - if you advise the mappers to always run line simplifications on the ways first it would be better to do this on the whole data set in advance, this would avoid unnecessary work for the mappers. - Since other sources are necessary to decide on correct tagging the question is what you intend to do in areas where no high resolution images are available (which is the case in quite a few parts of Tanzania) or where clouds or vegetation make a proper assessment impossible. There should be a clear plan what to do in those cases. - Since the specific road paving material can usually not be determined from satellite images the advise for tagging paved roads should be surface=paved and not surface=asphalt. - Instead of 'source:date=2014..2015' use 'source:date=2014;2015' - The 'license document' linked to does not really give permission to use the data in OSM, it just says it will be made available through OSM but no word about license and permission to use. Even more the agreement is limited until September 2016. -- Christoph Hormann http://www.imagico.de/ _______________________________________________ Imports mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/imports
