It's pretty much the same bullet points as always:

* Web site says "license not specified". This means it defaults to "all
rights reserved" even if the URL is "opendata.go.tz" - needs to be
clarified.

* You don't just "upload" such data to OSM, you integrate with what's
already there. You don't want to upload a water point where one exists
already, or where another incompatible feature exists.

* Please explain - ideally, on a Wiki page - what tags exactly you wish
to create on OSM and how you will determine the contents of each.

Bye
Frederik
