I feel has been involved in a smaller import before and in that case
there was benefit by simplifying the outlines. In this case verifying
nothing gets screwed up adds to the cost. <br><br>Buildings not
absolutely square, yes but different GIS systems use different accuracy
so if the incoming data has a few more decimal places then rounding will
occur which can lead to minor inaccuracies. I feel the simplest is just
to leave them. Selecting everything and squaring is really a
mechanical edit and you can get some odd results which again would need
to be carefully compared and adds to the workload.<br><br>California
Steve has put forward some proposals in the 2020 page of the wiki which
to me amount to minor variations on what we were doing. The intent
always was to involve local mappers but locating them is not always
easy.<br><br>The 2020 project is about not only adding building outlines
but also about enriching the tags on them and that to me is more
important.<br><br>I'm not hearing specific concerns which can be
addressed and I'd like to hear them.<br><br>So question to <a

are you OK with the wiki import process as written? If not, are there
specific things you want changed? The current process is the one Yaro
followed, although John and I basically did the same thing (I didn't
always replace existing building footprints unless the geometry was
really bad). It doesn't seem that the building data has been
simplified, although this should be an easy fix.</div><div><br></div><div>DannyMcD </div></div></div>
