[Imports] Importing data

[Rory McCann]

Hi Patricia,

Welcome to OSM. It's great to see you're interesting in sharing your 
data. :)

May I suggest you first contact the local OSM community in 
Australia/Sydney? They can probably tell you more about how to get 
started, and what would benefit them, the current "state of the map" in 
Australia, etc.

I'm not sure where they "hang out", but there seems to be a mailing 
list: ( https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au ) (a maybe 
dead) website ( http://www.osmaustralia.org/ ) and OSM Wiki page ( 
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Australia ). Perhaps 
fire a few emails/etc there and see if you can contact people.

Imports can be a little tricky to get right (since you basically need to 
"merge" your data with OSM data), so having someone with a lot of OSM 
experience is very important.

Hope that helps,

Rory
