some of us on the new zealand mailing list are working on a proposal
to import data from www.zenbu.co.nz, a business listing site in new
zealand

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Zenbu

is the page that's been put together for coordinating the work on this data

as this sort of thing has been done before - AND, TIGER - it would be
a good idea to learn from the experiences.

are there any pitfalls, anything to be aware of, suggestions to make
it easier? i've had a look at the relevant pages on the wiki for the
above imports and got a few ideas, but is there anything else not
there?

one of the biggest potential problems i see, is that zenbu do not have
a stable set of tags - users are pretty much free to come up with
whatever they want - so i predict a lot of manual work tying their
tags to ours

thanks
