[Imports] Open Charge Map - Proposal

[Michal Palenik]

hello

why not directly edit OSM and get minutely diffs? you would have
up-to-date copy of the database and no problems with points 2-6 on your
list (which afaik are not solved by anybody by a decent level of
satisfaction).

eg wheelmap.org uses this approach, our freemap services, ...

for the end users of your applications/websites, there will no change
("just" change the API server, the menu stays the same).
