[talk-au] obtaining permission to import vicmap datasets

[Li Xia]

Quick update...

I met with data.vic and vicmap yesterday for permission to import vicmap
data into OSM.

data.vic has requested that we include attribution in the wiki
page<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Contributors#Australian_government_public_information_datasets>,
and then they will request official approval from the policy office.

I have added attribution to Vicmap transport, hydro, admin and LITE
datasets on the wiki contributors
page<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Contributors#Australian_government_public_information_datasets>
so
the process can move forward. They have indicated that this process will
take around 2 weeks. These attributions are required for formal approval,
DO NOT REMOVE THEM!

As of this moment, we have been given the green light to start importing
the vicmap data. Approval is simply a formality.

Li.
