[Imports] Lafayette LA mappers? address import?

[Richard Weait]

Hello Mappers,

Do we have active mappers (with an interest) in / near Lafayette,
LA?[1]  How do you feel about address data for that area?  Would you
participate in improving that data?  Would you like to lead that
effort?   More details, and all follow-ups please, to imports@ and
imports-us at .

I've been given ~100k address points for Lafayette LA, along with
license permission for inclusion in OpenStreetMap under CT/ODbL and
future licenses.  The publisher requires a "don't blame us" waiver
that we may include in the wiki. :-)

A quick scan of the central area of Lafayette shows approximately 14
addresses that include addr:housenumber=*.

A very quick preliminary scan of the data reveals:

- addresses are ALL CAPS and need expansion of RD, ST, ETC.
- addresses are points and appear to be approximate building centers.
There are exceptions.  There are address points on what might be a
"main" portion of a building.
- there is at least one address point on the pitcher's mound of a ball
diamond, and not on the club house building.
- address points seem sensible based on existing road rendering and
aerial imagery, for the area I looked at.

So, if you are interested (and especially if you have local
knowledge), please follow and participate on imports@ and imports-us at .

Best regards and happy mapping,

Richard
