Hi, this is my first post to this mailing list, please be gentle. ;) I'm the co-founder of http://wheelmap.org - a map for wheelchair accessible places (all OSM data & contributing back). We are a non-profit organization based in Germany and getting more and more data sets offered and struggle what to do next. Of course we try to educate them about OSM and the import principles, but the people who approach us are not firm in dealing with this.
Since we are interested in the data, we would love to see them in OSM (and Wheelmap) if they are usable. Example: ca 5000 touristic places in France published under "Open Licence" [1]: https://www.data.gouv.fr/fr/datasets/les-etablissements-tourisme-handicap/ The data owners approached us. I saw the data set was already mentioned on http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_France/data.gouv.fr but its status is unclear to me. What can I tell her? I'm not firm with import tools, how can I help to get this data in OSM (if there will be a consensus to import them)? Since it is our mission as a non-profit to make the world a more inclusive place, I'm confident we could maybe even do some fundraising to pay somebody to work on this. Is this advisable? Has this been done before?
