[OSM-talk] Import of Chicago Bicycle data.

[Nicholas Vetrovec]

What do you think the best way to respond?
Here is the coraspondance I recieved:

The data is considered Public Domain.

I can send you the Bikeways Data. I have to prepare the data for public use.
About Bike Parking Data: It changes on a weekly basis. New records are added, and existing records are modified. Therefore, unless OpenStreetMap has an import API, the data will always be out of date. Another solution is to collaborate on a common file format that I could easily transmit to you/OSM once per month.

Can you explain what happens after you receive the data?
