The '''Import Support Working Group''' was a group formed by the [[foundation]] to facilitate the [[import]] of data into OpenStreetMap. It was intended as a dating service between those who have found data, those who can convince people to give it to OSM and those who could do the technical work of importing it. It could have also been a group in charge of encouraging imports to be carried out carefully and correctly in accordance with the guidelines, or even for dealing with related disputes. For procedures and contact information related to this now, see [[handling bad imports]]

This working group is effectively closed after enthusiasm for conference calls died out. Reasons for the working group are still valid perhaps, and so it could be restarted if volunteers were found to do so.

===Next conference call ?? ===
-
-
Next time we kind of need to make sure we can set up the conference call beforehand.
-
-
Whenever this happens it'll probably be at the same time:
-
-
* 11:30 AM Pacific time (California) (UTC-7)
-
* 2:30 PM Eastern time (New York) (UTC-4)
-
* 7:30 PM British summer time (UK) (UTC+1)
-
* 8:30 PM Central European summer time (Madrid, Paris, Berlin) (UTC+2)
-
-
Currently this conference call is still open for those interested in participating in the import support working group.

-
==== Ideas for discussion points ====
-
anyone?
-
-
--[[User:Acrosscanadatrails|acrosscanadatrails]] 10:45, 22 October 2009 (UTC) Perhaps chat about the idea of separating the import process into 3 distinct steps.
-
* 1 Data conversion
-
-using shp2osm.pl, shp2osm.py, shp-to-osm.jar, mp2osm .. or other programs to convert
-
the source data to .osm format
-
-
* 2 Data Sharing
-
-hosting these .osm files on a server somewhere so then everyone has access to it.
-
-having a copy of the source files in the .zip package along with a readme.txt file
-
and a changelog.txt file so people will know what the data is. (and a copy of the rules.txt
-
files that where used for the conversion)
-
-
* 3 Data copying-in
-
Where users assign themselves specific parts of the data that they work on
-
(claim it) and set status to 'planning' or 'in progress' so everyone knows.
-
-
I think that going this route, it makes it so that know 1 person is actually doing the entire import for a full country. Rather, local people are copiing in the data, and if they see errors they contact that person who is maintaining the conversion program, and submiting the errors to the local talk list (so everyone knows) and an update of that script can be made. Then the data can be re-converted, across the country... or locally.

-
(i wont be able to make it for the call in, unfortunately)

-
* dealing with better new versions of data which already reside in to the DB. I.e. if get access to better data of, let's say landcover, how do we mix them?
-
* does it make sense to have a supporting web application to coordinate checking and validating data? I mean something like this http://osm.m0nty.de/ that was used for aerlial images for Bayern. Something to make contribution easier, something like the dead-end checker for the US.
