Data imports to OpenStreetBugs by geocoder
There is a large variety of possible data sources, where only address information is available, but no coordinates (e.g. the international list of wheelchair toilets with centralkey=eurokey, "Der Locus".)
Is there a method to put these addresses through a geocoder and drop OSBugs on the map?
Or do we have to put them into OSM with a fixme=* ?
