Those are some tough allegations. As someone from the MapBox team I'd love
concrete instances of errors and omissions.

We've consistently improved where I got concrete feedback [1]. As just
discussed on IM, just concrete examples (w/ changeset, link to osm.org) of
what you're finding so far would be great. Again, I am committed in making
this a stellar import.

Ideally issues you or anyone else finds is posted to Github, where it's
easiest to track and work off.

Next, I would love to open the import task on the tasking manager to
everyone again (I sent a note to Serge, Eric and Liz on this last week).
This is a blocker for NYC community not engaging the way it could right now.

Further:

- Ruben, Edith and I have stopped uploading for today and tomorrow
- I will spend personal time today reviewing recent uploads, flagging
anything I find
- Happy to focus on validating before going further with importing
- Would love to set up another community session in January

Let's talk tonight in the imports hangout.
