I like it.  Let's start.

Required reading:

And previous guidance on 'bots and imports:

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Guidelines
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Automated_Edits/Code_of_Conduct

And support, the imports mailing list:

Motto:

"It doesn't take years of experience to mess up an import really
badly.  But it helps."
