Okay but please, enable some english dictionnary on your email client or, at least, avoid the irritating 'ich' and crossposting on 2 ML's. Back to the OP, you are right about the import guideline which is much too long. One sentence about taking care of existing data and knowing a minimum about the project before starting would be enough (just for those who do not see the obviousness). It is also clearly unbalanced and discouraging imports altough many feedbacks do not show so much objections about good quality imports. It's also making no difference between a local municipality lighting and a country wide landuse import, for instance. And constantly refering to "contacting the community" is simply a joke because the mailing lists, forums and mapping parties are just a little fraction of the contributors and I'm still looking for a mean to contact the "community". Or the word has to be replaced by the "5 loudmouths speaking on behalf of the community". Your diagram will not help much but a little picture doesn't hurt, excepted the sequence which is wrong as mentionned several times on the diary. The license is really the first point to check.
