Hey all, You've probably noticed I haven't mentioned anything about the road expansion code lately. That's because after a week of testing, and help from two community members, it's done. But I haven't uploaded it, and there's a good reason.
That reason is similar to what the Seattle building importers are seeing: http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/seattle-buildings/diary And similar to what the Kate and Katie in DC when they tried to do building, and I did parking lot imports. In their case, this left DC with only partial building coverage, and in the case of parking lots, I'm still fixing the mess of ways which share the same geometry (and often the same nodes). I hope the Seattle person/people will be cleaning this up, and not leave their import in the current state. Getting back to the current TIGER expansion, I decided it would be a mistake to try a large scale import without having some way of ensuring that the uploads were being done correctly, and so I've been working on a queue based uploader. It will take these issues into account, handle retries, etc. I'd like to suggest that if you're the Seattle person, you work with me on this, and we can solve both our problems. - Serge _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
