[talk-au] PSMA Administrative Boundaries

[Andrew Harvey]

I tried to find out more about two JOSM warnings but I couldn't.

1. Way segment too long

What's wrong with long way segments? I'm not convinced we should add
nodes where they aren't necessary for detail.

2. Crossing borders without a shared way.

This should only happen when you have an LGA boundary crossing a
Suburb/Locality boundary, do we need a shared node between these?

Could we delay that QA step until after these have been manually fixed
up to use the existing state borders?

> I'd assumed that we'd be uploading valid multi-polygons which means that we could use Overpass and the JOSM validator for QA. I guess we might be able to come up with another approach but I'm not sure it's worth the effort just to avoid adding and removing a few tens of thousands of nodes in comparison to the size of the import.

I was leaning this way to avoid this import dumping duplicates on top
of existing mappers work on the state boundaries.
