London cycle hire scheme locations

London is launching a cycle hire scheme in July - and TfL seem to have recently released the locations from which all the bikes can be picked up:

http://data.london.gov.uk/datastore/pac … -locations

It would seem to be a nice idea to get this data onto OSM, but I've only  every done minor edits, and am not sure how a bulk upload of POIs liek this would work, or what they would be tagged as.

Does anyone have any thoughts?

Re: London cycle hire scheme locations

First check the licence is compatible with OSM. That page is rather unhelpful in that it just says "License Summary    Unknown".

Also worth reading the import guidelines: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Guidelines
Specifically, discussing it with the community - the talk-gb mailing list is a bit more active than this forum, especially for London related mapping.
