[Imports] [HOT] Import of Tanga Building Footprints

[Antidius Kawamala]

Great. Thanks for your remarks, it will be great to do as suggested and this can be restructured as.

The best approach to import this data is manually by the community, with data split in a number of files, that will correspond to an equal number of projects in the HOT Tasking Manager

  1.  Advantages:
Any volunteers may join the import effort, at any time (although only skilled mappers should join).
We can check, at any time, the mapping progress of the import.
We can easily validate each task too, and check the validation progress.
Easy to set up.

Subject: Re: [HOT] [Imports] Import of Tanga Building Footprints

Thanks for writing and asking for feedback!

(1)
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tanga_Building_Footprints_Import
has "The import will be conducted through JOSM, where all building footprints will be uploaded at once."

I would strongly encourage splitting it into multiple changesets, one for some cluster/area.

If it is planned already then this sentence should be clarified.

(2)
"All buildings which are going to be imported are going to be tagged as: building=yes

This will be either residential, industrial, commercial, bungalow or church based on Building Footprints data"

If all areas will be building=yes then the second sentence seems not needed at all.

(3)
Is it possible to split

into smaller areas, suitable for review also by a bit less experienced users or
people interested in a specific area?

Hello community,
The subject of this message is to inform the OSM community
of an import prepared by Living lab initiative as part of a project to scale up the Open Street Mapping project, Missing Maps Initiative by combining data obtained from manual digitization from the latest satellite image 2019 In Tanga region.

This import consists of more than 500 hundred thousand footprints of buildings located in all over the Tanga region.

A wiki page with details of the proposed import is available
here: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tanga_Building_Footprints_Import<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tanga_Building_Footprints_Import>

Experienced OSM contributors who would be interested in participating in
this import will be welcome.

A similar message regarding this import was shared on the OSM
local OSM Community and WhatsApp group for OSM Tanzania to gather feedbacks.

Don't hesitate to share your comments, questions, or problems
related to this import before it begins.
