[Talk-us] [Imports] Preliminary Import/Organized Mapping Effort Idea

[Oisin Herriott (Insight Global Inc)]

Hi all,

Looking to get more people/groups involved in OSM is always a challenge. One place I might start would be to reach out to those mappers who have last edited the current boundaries and ask them their thoughts on this project. If you are using JOSM editor you can use ‘Ctrl + h’ to find the history of an object and reach out to the previous editor of that feature via OSM.

The Openstreetmap Contributors map tool<https://neis-one.org/2013/01/oooc/> is also a way to see who is very active in an area, and could provide more local mappers of various experience that you could reach out to individually to for their input on local project proposals to get the community involved.

This looks like a great project- Best of luck!
