Malheureusement John, il y a eu pire comme problèmes de qualité pour l'ouragan Matthews. Pouratant, on prétendait supporter une urgence, puis une fois les medias ailleurs, on arrête les mapathons et on laisse les problèmes.  De là mon article sur HOT qui disait que c'était une cause oubliée.

I completely agree with Pierre on this one. Especially if its going to involve more than one University. In Ottawa we imported the building outlines first through opendata. Then new mappers can just add tags. Just as a reminder here are some buildings mapped in Africa probably in a maperthon

Le projet Building Canada 2020 et la page wiki créée pour le projet ne sont pas à l'initiative de la communauté OSM du Canada.  À mon avis, les initiateurs de ce projet doivent indiquer clairement qui est responsable de ce projet et qu'il n'est pas endossé par la communauté OSM du Canada. Nous

Hi all, my 2c: If we want to have a bunch of new to OSM people map things, I would suggest that these is a *physical location* with *experts presen**t*.   As we see with the Carleton University example (not uOttawa), it's hard to get new folks on board... i would guess  that although there

The ESRI layer in BC is now pretty good as well, and has the latest orthophotography from all the cities with open data (and a few that don't). Much easier than manually collecting from each municipality. Generally this is still the urban cities and town, and not rural areas of course though.

Il y a d'autres priorités que les immeubles et je ne suis pas convaincu que l'objectif Immeubles 2020 proposé par des partenaires doit être endossé par la communauté OSM-Canada. Encore plus que le monde rural, il y a tout le nord à cartographier. Puis les divers projets de Mapathon on montré

Anything in New Brunswick will most likely have high resolution imagery as the goverment donated their imagery to ESRI world imagery. The praries (Northern alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba) have vary little mappers compared to the rest of the country, it would be fun for people to give them a

For info, there's a bunch of stuff that you can do with Overpass to see the state of an object on a certain date, for example: [date:"2017-08-25T00:17:06Z"]; way(300069227); out geom; http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/spV Also it might be worth considering using the dev site
