[Imports] Import of Waterpoints in Tanzania

[Rafael Avila Coya]

Hi, Joachim:

Apart from clarifying the license thing (very important), you may 
consider making a crowdsourced import using a Tasking Manager.

I give you 2 examples, but there are more:

Uganda Bureau Of Statistics Education Facilities import (import wiki [1] 
and workflow wiki [2])

Nigeria eHealth Borno Health Facilities import (import wiki [3] and 
workflow wiki [4]).

Making a manual crowdsourced import with the TM has some key advantages:

1) It makes validation easier.

2) You can add to the workflow another tasks. Typical info are adding 
road access to each WASH point, and use the info of the WASH point to 
add the name to the village it is in, if available.

3) And the most important of all, lets the OSM community get involved in 
the mapping effort.

As OSM community, we need to check the original data before the import 
starts, so don't forget to add it to the wiki.

Cheers,

Rafael.
