[Imports] Import of Waterpoints in Tanzania

[Joachim Van Edom]

Thanks for the brief reply,

*maybe the Terms and conditions of the opendata.go.tz can help clarifying
the terms of usage for the data.

*as i read the wiki I am familiar with how OSM works, uploading is just the
term used in the wiki for it. We are working on a way to prevent adding
already existing waterpoints. As there are ways to extract information from
OSM and convert them into other data formats  it must be possible to
compare both data bases and delete existing waterpoints from the list of
the ones that we want to add. But if anybody is willing to help us out on
this one feel free to contact me or join https://crowd2map.slack.com/

*I just saw the post on the swedish road name import with the link to the
wiki
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Digitransit/Helsinki_region_Swedish_road_names_import
this might be a good guide. I was thinking on using the ruby script to
convert the csv to osm. Depending on the possible tags we want to use, the
csv data will be altered before so only the tags wanted and accepted will
be used.

*Janet Chapman from https://crowd2map.wordpress.com/ is in contact with the
Tanzanian community / OSM Africa to clarify the needs to determine what
could be added.

I would be happy if someone is willing to help us out on this topic or
wants to contribute in whatever way possible: advise, hints or even by
criticizing the way we want to do this.

best regards
Joachim
