One additional thing OSM asks is that the coordinates be derived from
a free source and not Google Maps and the like.  I'm just mentioning
it because it's often a surprise for wikipedians who want to
contribute to OSM something they previously made for wikipedia.

We had a discussion about the "Wiki Loves Monuments" project on osm
Polish forums in the context of collaboration between Wikimedia local
chapter and the osm to-be local chapter, and this Google question came
up again.

Cheers
