<div class="WordSection1">
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks for the quick replies!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Now, about...<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%">a) Data hosting:<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you James, I really appreciate your offer (and that of others). So yes, I think hosting pre-processed data in the task manager, for approved regions, is an attractive offer. When we agree on a municipality for pre-processing, I will
contact you to make the data available.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">BTW, I thought ODB data in OSM format was hosted with the OSMCanada task manager. I understand that ODB data are currently converted on the fly when requested?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%">b) Task manager work units for import:<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I agree with Nate, ~ 200 buildings or ~ 1,500 nodes would be suitable. I was thinking at the same importation rate, but for an hour of work. It seems best to target 20-minute tasks.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%">c) Task manager work units for checking already imported data<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">According to Nate, it is definitely not faster than actively importing. We should then keep the above setup (b).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">However, what if I add a new tag to pre-processed data indicating if a building was altered or not by the orthogonalization (and simplification) process? For instance,
<i>building:altered=no</i>, would identify buildings that were not changed by the process and that could be left unchanged in OSM (i.e. not imported);
<i>building:altered=yes</i> for those who were changed by the process and that should be imported again. The same pre-processed datasets could then be made available for all cases. Thoughts?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%">d) Finding local mappers:<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I agree with Nate’s suggestion to try contacting the top 10 mappers in an area. Using the "main activity center" would work for most of the contributors but selecting other overlays (.e.g. an activity center over last 6 months) could also
work great. As long as we identify who might be interested in knowing there is an import coming.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Comments are welcome, particularly about the proposal on c)<o:p></o:p></p>
