This is an update on the plan to bulk import the remaining buildings / addresses in Washington, DC (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/DC_Buildings_%26_Addresses_Import).

Thanks again for all the previous community feedback.

The plan going forward:

 On 7/14/2014 import two test Census BlockGroups.  

* 110010078082 bounded 58th St NE (on west), Eads  St NE (on north) , DC boundary (east) and East Capitol St (on South) this is the very eastern part of DC. 

* 110010021023 bounded by Longfellow St NW (on North), 2nd St NW (on west),  1st St NW and New Hampshire NW  (on east) and Gallatin st Nw (South). 

These two initial Census BlockGroup import areas will be carefully reviewed. If the imports work well then other areas are planned to start on 7/17/2014 . 
 
It's not immediately clear that all the concerns raised with the previous proposal were addressed. Before I go back and review the previous proposal, do you have a list of them and how they were resolved? The only change to the Wiki page since July was some date changes.

4 days between the proposal and starting some imports is too short a time for review on something of this complexity.

Some questions I had after a quick read-through -

Could you add links on the Wiki page to the consultation with the local group?

About what percentage of the data do you see being imported by those listed as "and the local community" on the wiki page? Obviously you don't know exactly, but some idea of the target would be good.
