Hi Filip - <div><br></div><div>I don't think I've seen any replies to this interesting project.</div><div><br></div><div>I don't think you need an experienced importer to do this for you, although that would certainly make things easier.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Your wiki page is great - have you considered making a wiki page for your import plans? You can see a sample outline here (<a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Plan_Outline">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Plan_Outline</a>), which you can copy. If you fill out most of the information in this outline, you should have a good start to moving forward and recruiting help.</div>

Cooperating with HOT, we spent 3 months in CAR. Because of the rebels, we cant come back there, but we will continue our mission on distance (with our 2 Centralafrican coleagues in the field) in the next 3 months.</div>
<div><br></div><div>During our deployment we worked with different partners and we have gathered many data which could be imported into OSM. Just a brief description of the data:</div><div><ul><li>UNICEF - <b>schools, medical facilities and water points</b> for half the country now, awaiting the rest</li>
<li>WB - medical facilities for about half the country, to be compared with UNICEF data</li><li>OCHA (COD=Common Operational Dataset) - all <b>cities, towns and villages; roads</b></li><li>World Resource Institute, Ministry of Water and Forests - <b>roads, rivers</b></li>
</ul></div><div>We are at the beginning of our planning/preparation process for the imports. We are familiar with the import guidelines and workflow. However, as we have never done this before, we would like to ask some questions before starting and will be happy for more suggestions and possible cooperation.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Is it appropriate for us to do this work or should we ask an experienced importer to do it? Would anybody be so kind and willing to support us with it?</div><div><br></div><div>This is just a short description. For more info about our work dont hesitate to ask or see some of these links:</div>
