[Imports] Formal announcement of the import from LINZ

[Kyle Hensel]

Hello,

As mentioned in a recent email, it seems that the import of topographic data from Land Infomation New Zealand (LINZ) was never formally announced on this mailing list.
There have been various discussions about the import on this mailing list, but as a whole, there was no formal announcement.

The import began around 2010, and covers New Zealand, its outer islands, Niuē, Tokelau, the Cook Islands, the Ross Dependency of Antarctica, and the waters around Sāmoa and Tonga.

All the documentation and tagging is available on the main wiki page: https://wiki.osm.org/LINZ

The process used between 2009 and 2017 is documented here: https://wiki.osm.org/LINZ/Howto
The process used since 2021 is documented here: https://wiki.osm.org/Import/LINZ_Topo50_Continuation

I won’t copy-paste the huge tables from the wiki page into this email, so please see https://wiki.osm.org/LINZ if you’re interested.

Any feedback is welcome, both on the current and historic methods.


Best regards,
Kyle
