I will write up a feature proposal on the wiki to outline the details,
but first I wanted to see if there were any comments or advice people
might have. I do plan to automate the updates - none of this is map
data per se, but just tags, so I assume there won't be any real
complications. So I will read all about the guidelines around automation.
The questions I had are:
1) the UN provides geographical coordinates of these LOCODEs,
typically the city center. Is there any standard that OSM adheres to
regarding the location of cities? Anyone have any pointers to info I
should read?
2) alternative place names - the UN provides some data and we have
data from other sources. The data is good, but is there any consensus
on this topic about how OSM ought to operate?
3) locations/cities not in OSM at all - adding these in is a separate
task entirely so I will leave that till I understand OSM better. But
if someone could point me in the right direction, that'd be great.
you probably want to take this up with the imports list as well.
