I am highly dubious that adding cafes, kiosks and hotels<br>
based on up to 12 year old data is a good idea.<br>

I am unfamiliar with Ethiopia, but in Europe in such old data<br>
very large part of object would be not existing anymore. </blockquote><div><br></div><div>The question is if the benefit from having that data is higher than not having it :-) We are thinking about importing the data in a way it does not hurt but can be easily updated with existing OSM apps (for example StreetComplete).</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
Also, you would need to contact local community and ask<br>
whether importing this dataset is welcome<br>
(I see that you posted to mailing list, see<br>
<a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Contact_channels" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Contact_channels</a><br>

<br>
It should be set to date when object was confirmed to exist.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>We don't have the exact date here, just a range. We might be able to reconstruct the real check date from other datasets, or maybe can set it to 2010 to be on the safe side.</div><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div>Alexander</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div> </div></div></div>
