[Talk-us] Seattle Address Import Redux

[Jeff Meyer]

All -

Thanks for the detailed, thorough, and helpful response to the prior email
on subject.

I probably should have made a couple things more clear before:
- This is not intended to be an automated import
- We are not planning to rush into anything quickly

On that note, I've put together a more detailed plan on the wiki & made
some updates to various import-related wiki pages. I've tried to address
and respond to all questions that have been asked so far. (Even if there
may be some disagreement...) Please take a look at any of these and let us
know how they can be improved (here, on the wikis, or in the wiki
discussion pages, etc.).

Plan: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Seattle_Import
Import Checklist (Updated):

Plan outline (taken from the above plan):

Data request email template:

These updates are just first steps & could use assistance and improvement,
especially if we plan to cover all of the addresses in the world. : )

As for last night's meeting, we had a great crew of 11 OSM'ers, none of
whom had been involved for more than a year, several of whom have some
python fu, at least 1 ringer developer, and all of whom were from different
neighborhoods. The beer was copious and we had a most unwelcome trivia
night announcer blasting our ears out. It was a night that may live in
ear-ringing infamy.

Regards, Jeff
