[Imports] UPLOADING U-WIMP project data to osm

Hi,

I have looked at the list of proposed tags on the wiki page and I 
suggest the following changes:

source - don't add this to individual objects, only to changesets. Also 
"source=YouthMappers" is not very helpful if the YM data itself has been 
collected partly through survey (then put source=survey) and partly 
through remote mapping from imagery (source=whatever the image source was).

date - you put "no" in your "osm upload" column but you could probably 
upload this as survey_date

name - under no circumstances should you use descriptive names like 
"Deep Borehole", "Protected Spring", "Rain Water Harvest Tank", "Shallow 
Well". Your import would very likely be reverted if you did that. Fill 
the "name" tag only if the object actually has a name (like for example 
"Kitagata Hot Springs" or so).

Operator:type - do not capitalise. If you really want to put "Name of 
operating entity" there, do not use "operator:type", just "operator".

fees - use "fee" (no s)

Operational_status - do not capitalise. Research values.

pump - I am unsure about this. Others with more water infrastructure 
mapping experience might advise.

addr:* tags - do not use. They are for objects that can receive physical 
mail, not for water pumps.

Bye
Frederik
