At a rough count we have now have NaPTAN imported for about 1/3 of GB
(41 imported, 7 requesting an import and 90 that have not requested
one).[1] We have no authorities where someone as blocked an import any
more - one person did request a 'wait and see' on the first import but
has now requested it.
Firstly, could anyone who wants an import ask for it and then I will
give Edgemaster a prod to do another round of imports in the next few
days.
Secondly, would it be appropriate at some point to import the data for
all authorities where someone has not specifically asked for it not to
be imported? Can we use this list (together with other UK lists) as a
reasonable place to ask for any vetoes. Possibly we could include talk
in the post to catch other users. Vetoes would need to be placed on
the wiki request page so others could discuss the reasons with the
person in the open.
My point is just that a full import is much more use than a partial
import and given that the import seems to have gone reasonably well so
far (grumbles about NaPTAN data quality acknowledged) that we should
consider a final import.
There is also the issues of maintenance imports for NaPTAN data - the
data has now changed a reasonable amount in both OSM and also in
NaPTAN since the initial imports and we should possibly start thinking
about how to sync them in the future.
