<p>Howdy all, <br>
</p>
<p>a) I would also be happy to host data - I plan to preprocess/host
data for Toronto/GTA at the least. <br>
</p>
<p>b) I'd suggest sticking to no more than ~200 buildings or ~1,500
nodes for an import task. If that seems too small, you can always
follow it up with another task right after, without taking more
than a few extra seconds to click through the task manager
interface. I find that the amount of time needed varies widely.
Personally, I wouldn't want to spend an entire hour on a task - 20
minutes max. It's easier to select another task than to decide
what to do with a half finished one. Better to go too small than
too large!<br>
</p>
<p>c) That totally depends on the quality of the data to be checked.
The data here in Toronto was pretty much dumped as is. That means
that most of the work which should have been done during the
import has to be done now, retroactively. It is definitely not
faster than actively importing. I find myself cleaning up a lot of
other old/low-quality data along the way too which can take up as
much time as you let it. <br>
</p>
<p>d) Keep in mind that the "main activity center" won't account for
bimodal distributions. My center is still somewhere in Ohio,
though I've been active in Toronto for years. The "past six
months" option puts me in the right place. Personally, I wouldn't
bother users with <100 changesets, but that might just be a
Toronto perspective since we have a lot of very active mappers
here. Smaller cities will need to adjust that. I might suggest
trying to contact the top 10 mappers in an area. They would likely
know who else to contact if anyone. <br>
</p>
<p>Best,<br>
