Hello,
from the swiss alpin club i got a csv file with all the alpin huts. It looks like this
name;url;ele;lon;lat;tourism;operator Aarbiwak SAC;http://www.sac-pilatus.ch;2731;8.152199642;46.55547325;alpine_hut;SAC Capanna Adula CAS;http://www.capanneti.ch/tedesco/tedesco.html;2012;8.995795439;46.49909694;al... Albert-Heim-Hütte SAC;http://www.albert-heim-huette-sac.ch;2541;8.46345456;46.60896248;alpine_hut;...
and has 153 records They gave permission to put it on osm. should i just upload it with with something like http://svn.openstreetmap.org/applications/utils/import/csv2osm/csv2osm.pl or better convert it to an osm file to load in josm and do some last checks? Which tool can i use?
According to tagwatch there are 133 alpine huts mapped already in Switzerland, so you certainly should verify the import manually. If you could make the converted osm file available somewhere, local mappers could help adding the missing data.
In any case, I forwarded this to talk-ch.
By the way: The elevation is in CH1903. I also have the WGS84 transformation and osm suggests to use it in http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:ele Yet, if people in switzerland look at the elevation and then on the sign at the hut, it might look wrong, if i don't put CH1903 elevation.
I dare say that most of the ele tags in Switzerland are taken from the hiking posts at the moment, so I'd keep the CH1903 data for consistency. Maybe we should add a note in the wiki somewhere?

Thanks for your inputs
