Hi Ian,

We'd be happy to discuss and show the editor we've developed for ArcGIS users. 
We'd also like to understand your comment about parcel data better and hear 
more about such policies in OSM. We had not found info on this on the wiki or 
elsewhere.

Would Thursday or Friday work for you? Say 11am eastern?

Imports,

The state of Arkansas provided the data in shapefiles to be uploaded to 
OpenStreetMaps, we prepared the parcel data

I think that we (as a community) have decided that parcel data is not useful to 
us. Parcel boundaries are especially not useful. Parcel addresses, however, are 
another story. I'd be happy to see addressing data imported as points or 
applied to parcel buildings if those are available.

to be uploaded making sure they are not duplicates of parcel data in Arkansas, 
also we have all road data for the state that we will like to upload, we wrote 
a tool that using ArcGIS Editor for OpenStreetMap 1.1 detects duplicates by how 
many collisions and intersections we found and only uploads the ways that do 
not have any collision.

Please show us this tool. Beyond seeing the cool technology behind it, we 
should make sure that it's doing "the right thing". How do you plan on 
uploading these changes? What happens when an upload fails midway? Do you 
reupload the whole changeset (thus duplicating data)? What are "collisions" 
that you are detecting?


Let us know if you have any questions.

Who is "us"? Is ESRI getting into the business of loading data into OSM?


Cheers
Al
