If anything meaningful is ever discussed there, please don't forget that
it is a proprietary platform not used by everyone, and add summaries or
transcripts to the public import documentation.

This looks like a fun project. Hopefully you can find others in the area
that would like to help out. Please join us on Slack [1] to help discuss
the import.

You might look into  https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_Conflator to
see if it will help with existing buildings.

Can you explain how the shapefiles will be converted to OSM, along with the
tags? For example, if you are Paul Norman osm2ogr.py script to convert from
shapefile to osm, please post the relevant part of the translation script.

Also, when you get there, can you upload some sample data for us to review.

Good luck,
Clifford

[Talk-us] Proposed import of building footprints for Hartford, CT

2017-09-04 Thread William Theaker 
Hello,

I'm planning on importing building footprints and address points from the
City of Hartford's open data portal:
http://gisdata.hartford.gov

The data is CC-BY and I'm working on getting a waiver from the City of
Hartford.

I've documented my import plan here:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Hartford_Import

I started out editing OSM by tracing buildings in the Hartford area almost
a decade ago and I'm excited to import this high quality data.

Any feedback or offers to collaborate on this import would be greatly
appreciated.
