The final proposal is ready:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Sardegna/Import/Edificato
Addresses will be treaded in a future import proposal.
About any possible automation please remember that we are not talking
about an extremely dense cities like NY and we prefer doing manual check
on the existing data. Take example here:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/39970#map=12/39.5760/9.3779
We have many small towns without any data or little data, that can be
checked manually. The biggest ones (like Cagliari) will be treated in
the end of the import. Another point is that we contacted the sardinian
community but many of them aren't postGIS expert or even know what is
it, so you can't ask everyone to learn to use that tool (in fact, using
an automated methods create far more damages than doing a manual check
and upload, if you don't know what are you doing).
The workflow for the import will be like that:
-Open the received .osm
-Download the data from osm
-Check for integration and errors
-Upload the modifications on the downloaded data OSM
-Lastly upload the import data
On this way, there is no need for reprocessing the data.
About number of nodes, the towns are about 5000 to 15000 nodes each, and
we will use the "Upload the data in chunks of objects" option on JOSM,
with value of 250. This method was already used on previous Veneto
imports and worked nicely.
If there are no concern and have a good consensus from this list, we
will start distributing the data to the importers. The
ready-to-be-uploaded .osm files will be posted on the same page of the
wiki.
Thanks for all the feedback, especially Jason Remillard.
Regards,
Leonardo
