Don't worry, no one should actually be doing any importing until we get community consensus and a plan in place. > The PSMA data isn't good IMO.

Here's an a mesh of the LGA's in GeoJSON which you can import into JOSM with enough memory. https://tianjara.net/data/LGA_mesh.geojson.xz > But the biggest problem is that the names are all caps!

I've been working on processing the PSMA data to make it easier to import. Since I think we should reuse existing ways where possible, if we did that it's a mostly manual process anyway. Even without reusing existing way, to get relations you need shared ways on the borders. One approach is to use https://github.com/andrewharvey/geojson-mesh to get single ways for the border which we then manually join up into the full relations in JOSM. > On 6/10/18 12:07 pm, Joel H. wrote: > My first though is to add a fixme notice (in similar fashion to the NSW > import), that tells us to reconsider the place label node already in OSM, and > to integrate it with the boundary data. If there's an existing place node, then we should use that as the label member of the relation. _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
