[Imports] Central African Republic - import possibilities

[Jeff Meyer]

Hi Filip -

I don't think I've seen any replies to this interesting project.

I don't think you need an experienced importer to do this for you, although
that would certainly make things easier.

Your wiki page is great - have you considered making a wiki page for your
import plans? You can see a sample outline here (
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Plan_Outline), which you can
copy. If you fill out most of the information in this outline, you should
have a good start to moving forward and recruiting help.

Thanks, Jeff
