[OSM-newbies] Export Question

As with all things when you start, do a bit to test things out before doing
a lot. In JOSM you can change the data relating to one item and upload again
without it impacting any of the other nodes in the dataset loaded into JOSM.
Only the nodes you move or tag edit will get changed.

The next question is source (not the tomato kind). If you are adding address
data etc, where is this coming from, if its not copyright free do you have
the data owners permission to upload to OSM? Make sure you add a source tag
to help others understand where the data is from.

For phone numbers suggest you use phone=+49-123-456789 or telephone_number=
For other address data format suggest you refer to the Karlsruhe Schema on
the wiki.

Correcting name errors is normal editing practice, so go ahead and change
where it's in error.

Cheers

Andy
