[Talk-us-massachusetts] address import idea

[Jason Remillard]

Hi,

I corrected OSM in Groton and Littleton this weekend based on the last
address conflict file Yury created for us. It was about an hour for each
town. Alan, mentioned he spent 8 hours cleaning up Concord. That is 10
hours for 3 towns, we have 348 towns to go, it will be over 1,000 hours of
work if each town averages 3 hours each. It is a lot of time, we need to
think about this!

I suggest the following. We press ahead on the import, get the tools
working, wiki, import list, etc. Lets call it phase 1. It will include just
the 10-20 towns we can clean up in less than a month. At the same time, we
can make a MapRoulette task called missing roads in MA (I would be happy to
do this). Each unique MAD street name, will become a task.  Long term
(phase 2), when a town is cleaned up via  MapRoulette we pull the trigger
and do the address import.

It is such a big job, I don't want to see us spend a bunch of time on this
and give up because we are trying to bite off the entire state at once.
Doing 20 towns and getting good tooling debugged would be fantastic.

Yury, what do you think?

Jason
