Hi again: I am just importing the data for a tile as a test (the one that has Berbérati town in the SE corner ( http://osm.org/go/wJ4HSfE- )).
I've seen three things that I am in doubt: In the Education import: 1) All schools have a 'fixme' tag that doesn't make any sense for me, and that I left unchanged. They are like fixme=16.9603;7.62196 . They look geolocation data, but they don't match with the latitude/longitude of the place at all. One example is this node (École Saint Beris): http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/2590517305 2) Some schools have the 'capacity:classrooms', 'capacity:pupils' and 'capacity:teachers' with value "0". Shouldn't it be set to "unknown" in case there is no data of number of classrooms and pupils/teachers capacity, as it doensn't make sense a school without classrooms, nor pupils nor teachers? I am now with the Water wells import: 3) All nodes have a 'operator' tag that is set to "yes" or "no". I think this should be wrong. Even if we think that the mistake is about mixing 'operator' with 'operational_status' tags, it isn't again the point, as there are wells that are set with operational_status=closed + operator=yes, and wells that have operational_status=open + operator=no. As for the Health import I didn't spot any problem, but I would suggest to add to the wiki the meaning of the abbreviations to help mappers to change the names accordingly: CS = Centre de Santé PS = Poste de Santé HR = Hôpital Regional ... Cheers, Rafael.
