> In summary, I wish to import around 500,000 buildings in Allegheny County.
> The data is good quality and I've confirmed that we're allowed to use it. I
> already have a plan on how to import it: I will ask for an account on the OSM
> US Tasking Manager and put it there, where the community will be free to
> help add the buildings on chunk at a time. I am styling my import after some
> previous imports of Microsoft building data in the South (link:
> http://tasks.openstreetmap.us/project/122 ). I'm personally interested in this
> project so I plan on contributing to the actual import.

> Is this import a good idea? If you have any concerns, suggestions,
> or improvements, I am eager to hear them. I'm a mapper local to this area but
> this is the first import I've tried to conduct.
