<div style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;text-indent:0px;">Out of curiousity, the wiki clearly states geonames data is not to be imported into OSM. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Geonames</div>

<div style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;text-indent:0px;">Is that ban lifted? (in which case: cool, we have a lot of work to do, too)</div>
<div style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;text-indent:0px;"> </div>
<div style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;text-indent:0px;">Or should i read: get the lat+lon from the Bing imagery, and the name from Geonames, all manually? (as the geonames source of the lat+lon is google satelite imagery, but the name comes from XXX?)</div>

To import names, we can use data from Geonames. Michael have converted this data to osm format for Mali. To import this data, one should import manually comparing with populated places on Bing imagery and correct the geolocation. If you are intererested to import the data, Michael can give you access to his file.</span></div>
