When you make import, people are starting make notes about

I would note that, for decades, the best way to get correct
information on the Internet has been to post incorrect information. I
don't think that has changed, so yeah, let's import data even
No one does imports without audit of random samples.
We do it as well.
The percentage of errors checked in tested area corresponds to the average
content errors
created by OpenStreetMap mappers.
Of course, this must be checked each time, if we import data.
We should never believe in the quality

I dont get this? pressure? On what basis? You get the OSM data
OSM is not a melting pot for the world's open data and while there is a
place for imports, every import will have to be carefully thought about
and evaluated. Streamlining that process is not necessarily in the best
interest of OpenStreetMap.
What do you mean? Clearly it *is* in the
For me it is not unthinkable that once a company starts using OSM data for
a commercial offering, they might start demanding to add that data. Of
course they cannot demand anything from the community, but they can import
the data, or some people might feel a need to import data, or... It's hard

? We'd still need to survey in order to do the maintenance work and
correct errors. That's the main reason why imports are often seen as
problematic: they will not create a comunity, rather there are indications
that the growth of the comunity will slow down when everything looks

I totally agree with you, But, I have the impression that people that do
the imports don't do them to create a community. they do it to have the
data in OSM.
Don't you think that more data = more people eager to add notes about

I'd go along with this to some extent; I certainly don't think OSM should be
primarily about addressing as Steve's email appears to indicate.
It should be about whatever we as mappers want it to be. If addressing's your
thing, then fine, do it, but if it isn't, that's fine also.
I don't think
