<div>I created a page to describe the import of TEC data.
Can somebody have a look at it before I send it to the
imports mailing list?<br>

I have to say I'm a bit pessimistic about getting it
approved. I've been lurking on the imports list for a
while now and it's a bit depressing...<br>
<br>
</div>
But we can always try, of course. Even though I realise in
advance it will get shot down on the silly dedicated import
account rule alone.<br>

Ouch! I didn't expect that difficulty!<br>
<br>
But I have a very fundamental remark.<br>
Are you really doing an import or are you providing us modified data
to ease our tagging?<br>
Would using Julien's web page be called an import?<br>
Is making the process easier more an import?<br>
Was the Walloon bus line tagging done so far an import?<br>
Is continuing it more an import?<br>
<br>
I never looked a that problem but I think that what they're after is
huge careless data dumping.<br>
It's none of that.<br>
<br>
So my question is: must we really declare that as an import<br>
or continue our gentle tagging business on the quiet?<br>
Why tempting fate?<br>

<div>In the mean time I'm doing test edits, to make sure the
data conversion went properly. It looks fine, as far as I'm
concerned. Some abbreviations don't get expanded properly
yet (notably ones with a space after LE). I do those by
hand. Whoever wants to participate in adding these stops
must realise it not simply a matter of dragging them to
their proper location, but also the names need to be checked
for consistency.<br>

I told you I had thought of picking the names from OSM inside a
circle around the stop and checking the uppercase for similarity.
There's a Perl string similarity computing module. Did you consider
that?<br>

<div>The zones and the calculated route_refs should be correct
by now. The village names are mostly properly converted and
accents are put back where they belong. Notify me if you
find errors.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>I'm always prepared to do a Google hangout in French,
English or even Dutch (for those who'd want to practice) to
explain how I set up JOSM to make the whole process more
efficient. Additional buttons on the task bar for presets
and searches. dedicated MAPCSS style, which highlights the
stops and routes you are working on and something which
creates display names from distinct tags, so the routes get
sorted in a better way in the relations list.<br>

Good luck whatever you do,<br>
