<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I'm wondering if it would be feasible and advisable to import the
UK postcode data from <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Ordnance_Survey_OpenData#Code-Point_Open">OS
OpenData Codepoint</a>.</p>
<p>The licence is OSM compatible. My thinking was that we could
create a node for each data point and set the addr:postcode tag.
This would be useful for routing software like OsmAnd, since it
would allow a user to enter a postcode as a destination.</p>
<p>I'm happy to do the work, but the <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Guidelines">import
guidelines</a> say that imports should be discussed on the
imports@ list and the appropriate local communities, hence this
email.</p>
