[talk-au] Importing Vicmap Lite data

[Russell Edwards]

Hi,

I just wanted to double check before I do this as people seem to talk
casually about using Vicmap Lite data but the OSM Wiki has a long process
to go through with the community before doing any imports.

I have downloaded "Statewide Public Land Classification boundaries, polygon
- 1:250,000 to 1 :2 million. Vicmap Lite". It is CC BY-4.0-International.

I want to add boundaries of some local state forests I frequent, using this
data. My questions are

* Can I just go ahead and do it?
* I haven't done boundaries before, do I need a shared node where roads and
waterways cross the boundary?
* What if there is an existing overlapping area natural=wood that follows
the aerial tree extent (which doesn't exactly match the boundary)? Leave
them both there? Do I need natural=wood on the state forest boundary area
to, to make it display green? What about the conflict there?
* Anything else to watch for?

I might have a look at Vicmap Hydro to get the creeks as well.

Thanks in advance

Russell
