Re: [OSM-talk] Redaction finished already?
I would be curious to have an estimate as to when imports might be allowed again. There is a university I'm working with that would like to import data that they collected. So yes technically it is an import, but then their intent would be to now update the data directly in OSM rather than the way they have previously been doing it. This isn't technically urgent but there is updating they'd like to do soon.

Back in April I made this request: http://www.mail-archive.com/talk@openstreetmap.org/msg42372.html and I'd suggest that it would help mappers if imports stayed off for a while too. In some areas there's a fair bit of tidying up still to be done, and it isn't always obvious whether an import would partially duplicate something that got partially redacted. I would also favour continuing the block on imports and mechanical edits until about one week after a new planet is released. This would help downstream consumers of diffs by avoiding unnecessarily large diffs at a time when everyone will be reimporting. After all, imports that are currently taking place are not urgent. ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

Also, I cannot remember Jan having discussed his proposed import on the import mailing list even though he has been told that he'd be violating the guidelines if he imports without doing that.
