[Local-chapters] My search for how to add data to OSM

[Fred Mobach]

Hello,

Wgile already using Openstreetmap (as website, in the applications foxtrotgps on linux 
and OSMAND in my Android telephone) I don't have any exzperience with adding data to 
openstreetmap.

I want to start a local project in the Netherlands to add additional data to OSM, the dat 
data being unnamed POI's and/or new POI's.

My plan is therefor to add data from my current data collection, which contains curently 
over 59.000 POI's, mainly consisting of churches, chapels and crosses (in Dutch Kerken, 
Kapellen, Kruisen).
An example of a POI to be added is 
;; 8;; Noord-Brabant;Heeze-Leende;Heeze;;Ven;21;;51.36490;5.55883;;Sint Jobsklokje is 
Klokkenstoel;; 
An example of a POI with additional info is
Gelderland, Nijmegen, Graafseweg, 101, 51.83926, 5.85330, Nieuw-Apostolische Kerk : 
NAK_Nieuw-Apostolische-Kerk_Nijmegen 
That last field is the name of a subset of a collection of photos on my website, see http://
fred.mobach.nl/kerken/aklein/NAK_Nieuw-Apostolische-Kerk_Nijmegen.jpg[1].

The method I plan to use is:
1. search for a complete set of categories (like churches, post ofices) and select the for me 
the relevant ones,
2. download  a selection of the complete database, e.g. a town like Nijmegen,
3. try to add new or additional info on POI's,
4. repeat the previous step for all subsets of the Netherlands.

Thank you for your attention and please point me to documents / websites / procedures 
which will help me to first read the goal described in step.

Best regards,

Fred Mobach
