[talk-au] vicmap data licensing

[Li Xia]

Hi Nyall,

Starting simple is a great suggestion.

Importing the massive vicmap dataset will be a huge project. To keep track
of it all, would starting a wiki page and outline requirements, methods and
progress be useful in coordinate this effort?

In regards to existing data, such as LGAs, non existent what so ever is
simple, just import the vicmap data. What if there is some data, but very
little amount of it? Options are to:

1. Delete existing and import new.
2. Determine duplicates and work around them.

Which of the above option is best practice?

Li.
