Hi, Adding option 4, already used on many other imports:
Use some externa repository for manual checkup, as done e.g. for fuel stations [1], where the list of fuel stations was spread via wiki and some other tool I don't recall exactly. This allows to verify the progress (let importing users add a link to the objects after their import), and it allows to verify the data. I remember we checked most of the items on different sources as well, like websites and aerials (you see fuel stations on imagery usually). regards Peter [1] http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Fuel_Station_Data_Germany#Tankpool24.de Am 26.01.2015 um 19:14 schrieb Dave Corley: > ------------------------------ > > Message: 5 > Date: Mon, 26 Jan 2015 18:27:43 +0100 > From: JB <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> > To: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>, OpenStreetMap > talk mailing list > <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> > Subject: Re: [OSM-talk] [Imports] amenity=bicycle_repair_station :::: > only 18 so far > Message-ID: <[email protected] > <mailto:[email protected]>> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed > > Le 26/01/2015 17:59, Jo a écrit : > > It would indeed be preferable to use OSM Notes for that purpose. > Ho crap.
