[Imports] [Talk-us-newyork] [Imports-us] NYS GIS SAM Address Point Import - Status Update

[Skyler Hawthorne]

Thank you! Yeah, I was on the fence about it, but doing NYC will make doing updates a bit less awkward, since if I leave it out, I'll have to continue to specially leave it out in the future during updates. So I think I'd like to take a look at the data. If it just creates more problems than value, v then I'll leave it out.

If you're willing, when the time comes, it would be super helpful to have someone who is familiar with the area's existing data look at the change sets before being uploaded.

Your suggestion sounds good. I think since NYC has good coverage already, I'll give priority to writing up the cleanup guidelines.

If you've changed your mind about this, I'd ask you to take a very cautious approach here. I have specific worries if you'd like to hear them, but in general the issue is that it's super dense with lots of existing data, and that the import will generate a lot of QA work, and a lot of that will fall to me. Personally I'd suggest attacking the QA guidelines next, because I imagine that process will yield some insight on the kinds of issues that have arisen in denser areas, which might help in tuning your import code.
