[Imports] Need advice: Import wheelchair accessible places?

Hello,

This dataset does not include geographic data as far as I've seen in the
CSV file.

It is possible to geocode this data using our national addresse database
and geocoding service, but the result will not match our usual required
quality for imports.

We can add this geocoded datasource to osmose, our QA tools that also allow
to make semi-manual imports simpler to OSM contributors. It means adding
POI one by one after matching them with existing data, etc...
As there is "only" 5000 POI to import, this should not take too much time
for the french community to work on we can promote this project to have it
done within a couple of weeks.

Do not hesitate to send me your contact with the datacourse producer, we
can directly deal with them to have these data in OSM.

Last thing, the licence is OK for OSM, it is similar to CC-by and we just
put a source tag on the changeset to comply with it.

PS: For your informations, I'm working at data.gouv.fr, and also working on
our national geocoder... and I'm also OSM France board president ;)
