Can you provide a link to the Ugandan discussion? It's also wrong to
refer to this as a final validation - it's discussion just like needed
to be done with the Ugandan community, and neither is more a final
validation than the other.

I just follow the imports guidelines.

But my point is that this isn't a final validation, it's a consultation with the community, just as with talk-ug.

Since talk-ug@ is a very quiet list, is there anywhere else the Ugandan community uses to talk? e.g. forums, a group elsewhere, FB, etc. With no response to the talk-ug@ message, it's hard to know if the locals want this or not.


Looking at the suggested changeset comment, you should not mandate a particular comment, but have users use a good changeset comment[1].
I agree completely. Thank you. I will add that to the workflow wiki.

Don't forget the Import_Uganda_Bureau_Of_Statistics_Education_Facilities page too.

You've also listed the source tag twice.
If you mean that source and source:date are both in the nodes and the
changeset, it's true.

No, you're requiring people to use two source tags on the changeset, which is impossible.

Past experience has shown that importing with a fixme doesn't work. They
don't generally get fixed.
The fixme tag would affect an small subset of those 24,000+ nodes.

How large a subset? Also, it doesn't really address what I raised.

The workflow mentions abbreviations. Are these common enough to be worth
expanding in the conversion script?
Yes. They are indeed very common. I will add the most complete set of
abbreviations to the final script so users will find as few as possible
of those abbreviations. Being 24,000+ nodes, it's really difficult to
correct all of them.

What  kind of portion will be left?
