[Talk-ca] WikiProject Canada Post - was RE: Business data in northern Montreal

2020-06-14 Thread David Nelson via Talk-ca 
On the WikiProject’s wiki page, there are links to spreadsheets that show 
exactly which post offices are in our database and which are not, and of 
course, the best way to find the exact locations for these post offices is via 
ground surveys.  I initially populated those spreadsheets using Canada Post’s 
own data.  Of greater interest to this project are the post offices in rural 
areas, especially in the Prairie provinces, as we have very few of those in our 
database, and leads to their exact locations are pretty hard to track down 
online.

Bonjour David

Pour voir de tels projets progresser, faire le point de temps en temps peut 
motiver les contributeurs à participer. Et l'accès à des outils pour faciliter 
l'édition / ajout de données. Par exemple, où sont les données géoréférencées 
des bureaux de poste existants à ajouter à OSM ?

Pour les bureaux de poste, la page wiki 
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Canada_Post  contient des liens 
intéressants dont les statistiques par province. On observe une très bonne 
couverture dans l'ouest (au dela de 90%), et nettement moindre dans l'est 
incluant le Québec  (40% et moins) 
(https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1gj1E9R_daWsEg5_sDH1gH9C9WO79jkZIMwrx5YuncYk/edit#gid=0).


Un autre site intéressant est https://www.pagesjaunes.ca / 
https://www.yellowpages.ca
Ils utilisent la carte OpenStreetMap. Il y a là un interêt commun. Si quelqu'un 
pouvait les convaincre de permettre aux contributeurs OSM d'accéder à leur 
répertoire géoréférencé, imaginez tous les commerces que nous pourrions ajouter 
à la carte. Cela motiverait aussi à ajouter les batiments correspondants.

As part of my efforts to advance WikiProject Canada Post, I noticed that the 
portion of the Island of Montreal north of Autoroute 25 is missing quite a bit 
of business data.  When looking through our database for businesses that act as 
franchises for Canada Post outlets, I was not able to find more than half of 
them in the aforementioned part of Montreal.  Is it possible that any active 
mappers in that part of the city could go out and improve OSM's business 
coverage there?

Man when you're north of the 25 in Montreal, it's either because you live
there or you are on your way to Québec City. Not a lot going on in the
northern tip of the island
