Dear OSM community,
This is an announcement and request for comments, suggestions, and approval of 
land cover information data import for the territory of Sweden.

* Import plan: [1]
* Raster data source:  Sweden's Environmental Protection Agency 
(Naturvårdsverket) [5]
* Data license: CC0
* Data URL: [3]

The whole importing effort is expected to split into at least 290 pieces, one 
per county (kommun).
Initial chunks of import data will be submitted using a dedicated account 
called Atakua-imports (my primary account is called Atakua).
Later, to distribute the work, other accounts controlled by additional 
volunteers from the talk-se community may be used.
Work distribution and coordination, including information about accounts used 
for importing data for subareas, is tracked in this table: [6]

A local mailing list thread dedicated to discussion of this import, technical 
problems of data conversion, filtering, validation etc.: [4]
A lot of technical details about the source data conversion, cleanup and 
conflict resolution are covered in the import plan and custom processing 
scripts [11]. I am willing to address any concerns not covered by existing 
documentation.

To get a first impression about this import, please take a look at the 
following OSM-datasets prepared for three separate counties.

1. Staffantorp county [10], in fact, requires no import at all because present 
land cover data is already good enough.
2. Stockholm county [8]. New land cover data remaining after conflation [9] 
consists of less than a 100 objects for that subarea. Most likley, it is not 
worth pursuing importing anything for this county either — forests there are 
already well mapped.
3. Vingåker [7] county is the first example of a subarea with poor pre-existing 
forest information, thus benefiting from this import.

Looking forward to hearing input from you!
