[Talk-us] NYC DEC Lands reimport

[Kevin Kenny]

I believe that I have resolutions to all of the issues that I've
discussed here over the last few weeks. I've done several dry runs of
selected parcels, and I'm confident that the workflow will not tread
on the work of human mappers, particularly since I'm inspecting
everything in JOSM before uploading.

All changes will be done under the distinct user ID ke9tv-nysdec-lands.

I'm going to start the process tonight, doing the largest parcels
first so as to expose complex issues early. I probably won't get
through more than a handful this evening, because the largest ones are
indeed complex and require considerable manual checking and patchwork.

Thanks to everyone for their patience with my questions. Much became
clearer when I realized that it was once the practice to tag the
exterior rings of a multipolygon, rather than tagging the relation.

Wish me luck! I'll follow up to this message with a list of
changesets, so that those who commented can follow along and make sure
that I followed their advice.
