GNS Data? Does that exist for other countries as well?

Reinier,

for your curiosity, Michael Heißmeier has used GNS data to convert to OSM and 
I wrongly stated Geonames.

Hi,
 
Out of curiousity, the wiki clearly states geonames data is not to be imported 
into OSM. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Geonames
 
Is that ban lifted? (in which case: cool, we have a lot of work to do, too)
 
Or should i read: get the lat+lon from the Bing imagery, and the name from 
Geonames, all manually? (as the geonames source of the lat+lon is google 
satelite imagery, but the name comes from XXX?)
 
rgds,
 
Reinier

Norman,


The data provides for various sources with no clear license. To import names, 
we can use data from Geonames. Michael have converted this data to osm format 
for Mali. To import this data, one should import manually comparing with 
populated places on Bing imagery and correct the geolocation. If you are 
intererested to import the data, Michael can give you access to his file.
