[OSM-talk-be] New user: Kreatos - wants to do import of their shops

[Jo]

I think it would be best to get a csv file from them with coordinates and
adress information, then do the import ourselves.

After that you can show them how to verify the information remains current
from time to time with an Overpass API query. If they are really motivated,
you can also explain them how to create building outlines and add the data
themselves according to our standards, of course.

I have already been considering something like this as some sort of
business opportunity... It's been done before in Germany. No idea how
successful that was.
