[talk-au] How to efficiently improve AU address coverage?

[Phil Wyatt]

Personally I think it should be suburb and postcode (drop the country)

Do we need the country, city & post code fields?

 

No.

The osc file[1] generated in Stage 2 is compatible with JOSM.

[1] https://ypei.org/assets/tmp/unitFromNumber-1.osc

I spot checked a few nodes and they look correct too. See also the
attached screenshot.


My understanding of this Stage is to fix all the discrepancies between
streetnumber=X/Y in osm and streetnumber=Y;unit=X in the vicmap dataset,
before Stage 3 - uploading new addresses from the latter.

I can do the test upload of a small area (say ~100 addresses) and report
back.

I will check the scripts that generate this file, to find out whether
the logic indicates the file has full coverage corresponding to the
datasets.
