I've received some feedback from the imports list and made some changes to the plan.
1. The ref tags won't be imported as they can in some instances discourage local edits. They make the object feel less like a native OSM object and editors may feel it's a special imported piece of data that they can't touch. I certainly don't want this imported data to feel like that, and given these IDs aren't that important (feel free to identify any use cases where they are helpful) I'll skip them initially. 2. access=private tag won't be imported, this is best surveyed on an individual basis. 3. capacity changed to school:enrolment to better reflect what this number actually is. Enrolment could be lower or greater than the capacity. 4. I'll put tho source tags on the changeset, moving existing source tags to source:geometry where it is an Imagery source, or if source is survey, leaving it in place. 5. I'll leave in place existing "Foo Primary School" names as what's on the ground should prevail. "Foo Public School" where "Foo Primary School" exists will be placed in the alt_name. These can always be changed on an individual basis with local knowledge of the school. I'll give it a few more days for feedback, if I don't get anything back I'll start the import as planned.
