Firstly I value local mappers and everything to do with this import was done in consideration of how it would impact mappers, the intent was to support local mappers and minimise disruption and grief. So I'm disappointed that you feel otherwise.

You don't need to be active on the community forums, but at a point we need to collaborate as a community, you don't need to partipate, but if you don't then you may miss out on an opportunity to shape the project direction.

The Community Discussion points were documented at https://gitlab.com/alantgeo/vicmap2osm/#community-feedback with most of the discussion happening in the thread at https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-au/2021-May/014622.html

You're welcome to take this up with the DWG, of course I welcome any review of my work on this import, at all times I've tried to balance all community feedback and points raised. The vast majority of feedback I've recieved has been positive, but I do understand you feel this import missed the mark for you. In a broad community, not everyone will be happy.

Regarding your specific issue, you're arguing that addresess should have been added to existing buildings rather than as nodes, and that's you're only issue? Take it up on the community forum, and we can have a discussion there.

But regardless I'm still not seeing how the integrity of the data in OSM is compromised by this import. It didn't delete any existing addresses, and mostly didn't add any duplicates, or even modify existing ones even when Vicmap data disagreed with what was in OSM.                                                                                            

A valid option from the community could have been "no we don't want this data imported, we'll keep adding addresses by survey only" however this was not what I heard from the community, I head that an import is best.

If you want to do an automated edit to merge these address nodes onto the buildings, then please as an automated edit please post your plans and methodology to the community forum for review and discussion.
