Hi Jason - <div><br></div><div>Great to hear about the import. Sounds like some interesting data!</div><div><br></div><div>Have you taken a look through the import checklist at: <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Guidelines">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Guidelines</a>?</div>
<div>I've recently made some updates & would love to have you walk through those steps to QA them.</div><div><br></div><div>Also - it looks like there's already a MASSGIS import listed in the Import Catalog at <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Catalogue">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Catalogue</a>.</div>
<div>That project is found at: <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/MassGIS">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/MassGIS</a>, but I didn't see your name on that page, so it may be from a prior or older dataset import.</div>
<div><br></div><div>If you follow the checklist, and set up a new import Wiki page, I think you'll end up answering most (if not all) of Serge's questions and we'll have (a) some good feedback on the import processes, and (b) an easier-to-find record of your answers.</div>
<div><br></div><div>This may seem like some excess overhead, but it will help ensure that we're taking full advantage of past knowledge & helping others learn from your experiences.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks!</div>

</div>I don't see a license related to this data, only a copyright notice on<br>
the page. Is there a separate license somewhere that says this data is<br>
usable?<br>

</div>What is the script you're plannng to use for conversion? What is your<br>
mapping scheme? What is your plan regarding conflation with existing<br>
data? What is your plan regarding updates?<br>
