Discussion on recent shutdown and revert of rjhale's building footprint import.

• The shutdown of the import felt drastic for the importers,
• How can we make the interaction between DWG more curteous?
• Response compounded by scarce resources
• http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import just sucks, the red box doesn't actually say what matters
• Next action: draft improved first Import wiki page and a paragraph to it on OSM.us
• Martijn does blog post? Alex could jump on this to.
