[Imports] Import guidelines - official or not? was: [Talk-us] parcel data in OSM

[Jeff Meyer]

DWG -

Can you clarify if the wiki guidelines are the official import policy or
not?

http://www.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Data_Working_Group states that one of the
DWG's tasks is:

   - Detecting and stopping vandalism and imports that to not comply with
   guidelines.

Unfortunately, there's no link to the guidelines. Does this page constitute
the DWG's import guidelines:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Guidelines? If not, is there a
separate source for them?

Serge is leading an effort to review / improve US import guidelines.

Thanks,
Jeff

We don't, actually (just because there's a page on the wiki doesn't make it
official or defined).
