I was thinking of something along those lines. It is nice to see that someone already has written some explanation on why it matters. I don't have time right now to start this project as I want as many streets as possible in my hometown and its surrounding (thanks to the cadastre in France), so I can get a strong enough base for people to add useful information. Thanks again for this. It would be interesting to know how long ago you did this. I haven't been going very far yet in the page. I was thinking of including in the end a website where some basic instructions were given to people interested as a light documentation. In fact, I had no plan to mention it until I saw the subject so I couldn't resist barging in.
