I like how you are limiting your work to a small area. How are you going to grow otherwise? I like how you are just working on an area that you have edited. That respects other mapper's work. One change that you should consider is how to merge these foot prints with other mapper's work. For example, I looked at one building.[1] This is your own work. However, I'd find a way to preserve the existing way and nodes so that you change the features in place. It builds on other mapper's work. I also included a link to whodidit for your area.[2] I have whodidit zoomed in but the map may take a bit to load. What you are looking for are mappers in your area that may want to take part in the effort. Whodidit is just one example and one way to find this information. You may find that there are no mappers in your area that have an interest in this effort. If that is the case, then there are other mappers in the US that would like to see you succeed in a positive way. They may be willing to pitch in as part of a community effort as long as you have diced up the data for multiple mappers to participate. I think you should start with the US mailing list for guidance.. I believe mappers on this list would be more helpful than on other lists. As you refine your process and get good feedback, then you can move to other lists for the final import plans. I hope this helps get you started, Greg Morgan [1] http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/396603853/history http://zverik.osm.rambler.ru/whodidit/?zoom=16&lat=44.74246&lon=-93.10183&layers=BTT&age=1000
