Hi,
I'm wondering if it would be feasible and advisable to import the UK
postcode data from OS OpenData Codepoint
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Ordnance_Survey_OpenData#Code-Point_Open>.
The licence is OSM compatible. My thinking was that we could create a
node for each data point and set the addr:postcode tag. This would be
useful for routing software like OsmAnd, since it would allow a user to
enter a postcode as a destination.
I'm happy to do the work, but the import guidelines
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Guidelines> say that imports
should be discussed on the imports@ list and the appropriate local
communities, hence this email.
