<div>Data has been converted from shape to osm using pnorman's ogr2osm python scripts and some translation instructions Cliff has put together.</div>
<div><br></div><div>At the meeting, we will discuss concerns about the import, methods of curating the data, how to divide up the work, and how to properly track data created through this import. A cursory review of the data has identified a variety of issues: e.g. non-existent addresses, misplaced addresses, including buildings that no longer exist, etc. So, we are not planning to just do a big bulk dump of information.</div>

It'll allow you to test and refine tagging across multiple source layers (from shapefiles/etc), and then break up the work into "human-sized" chunks, and keep track of what's merged/not - especially if you have existing data and need people with local knowledge to do their local areas.</div>
