<p dir="ltr">Hello</p>
<p dir="ltr">One of the ideas to do such our imports is osm data is more valuable for community then . People are more interested in mapping maybe . Of course thats not the most important. <br>
It is not one person is doing the whole country, if one can look at the imports more deeply can see its rather small regions. Regions he looks after usually, very often its because someone asked. <br>
There are couple of people doing this, in own areas.<br>
A few weeks ago Zbigniew noticed addresses were ready for a small town in my area. He prepared that and sent me to import. But he knew i am mapper in this region. Knew about the "community" :-) and he lives 600 km away.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Its just a few words to show the mechanism behind addresses' imports.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Kind regards </p>
