Guidelines for Cameroon data import

- Planned imports will be announced to the talk-cm list.
- Local community-consensus should be made before imports.
Goals
Enrich and extend the disposable OSM data in Cameroun under the rules of the Open-Source
Proposal for import:
- Only data from contributors who gave explicit consent will be imported.
- Data review and assessment. Check for data integrity (copyright issues, etc.).
- Data received
Import Project n°1
The National Institute of Cartography of Yaounde signed a permission to integrate its data to Openstreetmap. The data collected consist of a vector file of the boundaries of the departments of the North and Far North of Cameroon and raster files of the two regions.
Process
- Rectify the maps in QGIS or georeference them in JOSM
Data Quality
The data collected is of excellent quality overall but it is not ready-to-use.
