Other required knowledge

[geobrando]

Great start. See this from the OSM Imports list for other possible required knowledge that might be incorporated into this, though some might be already part of established training material somewhere else.

• What's a relation is?
• Difference between highway=trunk, and highway=service,
• How to tag schools,
• How to replace geometry in JOSM, and when should it be used.
• What are image offsets, and how to apply them in JOSM,
• What are change set comments.
• Have they gone and mapped their local neighborhood by hand

If they are doing an address import, do they understand

• when to tag a building, when to put the address on a node,
• how to tag address interpolation,
• how to handle new addresses and existing POI's,
• what are all of the address tags

community

• What to do with OSM messages
• What is the DWG, and what does it mean when they write you a message.

I feel like this guide is not the New One Guide to Rule Them All. It's specifically about how to use JOSM for an import. So i disagree about many of those items. I really wanted to focus on the workflow within JOSM and how to handle a few cases, like duplicate nodes, roads intersecting buildings, validation, etc.

Yes, some of these may not apply depending on what kind of import you're talking about. Not necessarily what you may have envisioned for this but most of these are important concepts to understand. Pretty basic stuff. Take from it what you wish.
