[Talk-ca] Importing buildings in Canada

[Daniel @jfd553]

Updates about the ODB import proposal
Documentation:
All the content regarding the current import has been moved to the Open Database of Building (ODB) wiki page [1]. The purpose of the page is now twofold. Provide a detailed procedure on how to import the data and to keep an inventory of what has been done/remains to do.
The Canada Building Import wiki page [2] will keep the same name but its content has been modified to serve as a hub for all building imports, previous and current. I also added a section to describe what best practices are when importing/editing buildings (to be developed).
Import:
Regarding the import, I proposed the import to be done using the task manager on a Municipal basis for all the reasons mentioned here [3]. In order to make it work properly, the OSMCanada task manager [4] needs to be set up for a given municipality only after a contributor has identified himself as the local import manager. We also know that the task manager us totally customizable [5].

Now we need to discuss, amongst other things, of ...

*         Who will be in charge of setting up the task manager?

*         What optimal task manager's parameters should be to ease the import?

*         What parameters are required to review what has already been imported?

*         How to proceed when pre-processing is required?
Proposals or suggestions? Let's discuss
