<div>Hi Apollinaris - At this point, I am referring primarily to GNS data (<a href="http://earth-info.nga.mil/gns/html/index.html">http://earth-info.nga.mil/gns/html/index.html</a>). I am very familiar with the data. Sections of the data are very good and ought to be considered for import into OSM. Are you familiar with the GNS? </div>

I work professionally with geographic names collection and standardization. I'd like to volunteer to help add large datasets of standard geographic names to OSM. I have an OSM account, but I haven't contributed anything yet. I need to speak with someone who can answer my questions about entering large datasets. Would you please help me find someone who can answer my questions? It would help if the person were in the US, due to time zones, etc.<br>
