The first time a user wants to work in a task of the TM project of his/her choice, s/he will have to agree with the terms of the license, as we do since years ago with license terms of different data/imagery providers. But no problem, as Andrew Inglis from JSI will upload the data to a server and make it available for anyone interested in reviewing the data. As I said in a previous email, there will be an attached text file telling that the data file can be used only for the purpose of review for the 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. >> Running the Simplify Way plugin for each task takes just seconds, when >> each task can take an average of one hour.

Avoiding users to have to simplify ways for every task is in our TODO list of this import workflow. > > > _______________________________________________ > Imports mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/imports > -- Twitter: @ravilacoya <http://twitter.com/ravilacoya> *Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT)* <http://www.hotosm.org> _______________________________________________ Imports mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/imports
