[Imports] UPLOADING U-WIMP project data to osm

[Stellamaris Nakacwa]

Dear All,

Thank you very much for the input.

@Mateusz Konieczny, I would not be so quick to call it a fake name but you
have a point. This means that name can be 'general' but can also be
'specific'. As you can see for yourselves in all the queries that have been
shared here--- the 'name' tag was maintained for both (no differentiation
was made). However, I would also like to share a lived experience that
rarely will you ever find a rural water point with a specific name.   With
Uganda's Water data collection form {type = tap, borehole, etc} is applied.
--sharing a snippet of the form

According to @Frederik Ramm <frederik at remote.org>, I can keep this as the
tag for the uploads.  Again, as I said, we did not just wake up and
randomly choose a name, we made a complete osm tag assessment for WASH data
based on criteria. This data is being shared across 3 databases including;
the global water challenge database {Wpdx}, Ministry of Water &
Environment, Uganda and OSM. Submitting an incomplete dataset in OSM does
not make any valuable sense regarding that this is a public asset that we
all hope to rely on someday to guide any other processes of such work, just
like I did.

I will go ahead and edit 'name' for 'type' including all other corrections,
and I will make sure to include this debate in the general document for all
other YouthMappers that may rely on this guide for future data collection.
You are welcome to suggest an alternative to 'type'.

Thank you!

Stellamaris.
