Responding to point C below, I would strongly suggest that we not confuse the process of importing new data with that of updating/modifying existing data in the OSM database. One of the things I really disliked about the initial building import was that it overwrote existing data at the same ti

One concern I have at present is the lack of comments from what I would call more average mappers in smaller population areas. The conversation seems to be limited to two or three players. I'm not sure if this is because we lost momentum earlier or people now feel they have to have made more than

Just to let you know there is a maximum of geometry the tasking manager can handle, I'm not exactly sure what it is, but I have encountered it before. So try not to go too ham with the geometric shapes On Wed., Jan. 15, 2020, 12:56 p.m. Daniel @jfd553, wrote: > Thanks for the quick replies! > >

Thanks for the quick replies! Now, about... a) Data hosting: Thank you James, I really appreciate your offer (and that of others). So yes, I think hosting pre-processed data in the task manager, for approved regions, is an attractive offer. When we agree on a municipality for pre-processing, I wi

Howdy all, a) I would also be happy to host data - I plan to preprocess/host data for Toronto/GTA at the least. b) I'd suggest sticking to no more than ~200 buildings or ~1,500 nodes for an import task. If that seems too small, you can always follow it up with another task right after, witho

I think we should have a list of ways to find local mappers. Ideally we start with Pascal Neis’ tool but then allow ourselves to reduce the bar to consider others perhaps with 9 changesets or less after two weeks after approaching the ideal mapper /mappers first. Do we have a target municipality
