gently pointed out that he wasn't following the Import guidelines and he repliedĀ he didn't think this classified as an import and he wanted
to do something productive instead of having to deal with the
bureaucracy.<br><br></div>The general mood on the mailing list is
that it is such an overhand to follow the guidelines and they should not be followed anyway for such small edits (most stations are already in OSM and only some data should added) and therefore not even a dedicated import account is
necessary. Even the proper attribution of the open data provider is not seen as necessary.<br><br></div>Anyway the import is already ongoing and some stations have already been imported:<br><a href="http://toolserver.openstreetmap.it/phpBenz/stats.php" target="_blank">http://toolserver.openstreetmap.it/phpBenz/stats.php</a><br><br></div><div></div><div></div>I kindly ask your opinion about this import.<br><br></div>Regards,<br><br></div>Andrea<br><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><br><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
