[Talk-GB] [Talk-gb-westmidlands] Import Progress

[Andy Robinson]

Harry, and everyone else, 
I'm sure Brian will get back to everyone on all of this when he's back in circulation. He's not been around since these issues were raised. There is obviously a lot to digest and clearly there are some specific points to take on board so I'm sure when he's had time to go through everything we can move on.

Cheers and happy mapping.

Andy

I've created a wiki page specifically about the tree data import.

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Birmingham_City_Council_trees_data

It would be better if somebody involved in running the import, would do this (per the Import Guidelines), but I've drawn together various info I could find from Brian's blog posts, and from poking at the data myself.

I didn't poke at the origin data. We could document the complete list of fields they provide.
Also is the whole data set is now imported? I count ~43000 nodes, but Brian's blog mentions 76,000 trees. How many changesets was that? To what extent has the data now been modified after import? What is 'usrn'?
