Re: [Talk-ca] 2020 building import wiki comment by Nate Wessel

I found the building footprints to be very good. JOSM cleaned up most of the errors..I'm not sure it would be worth the risk to do more processing. Sometimes there were crossing ways, usually with terrace or buildings in the downtown core that need to be fixed manually. Which took a ton of time.

Re: [Talk-ca] Nunavut place names language

As someone who does a lot of mapping is in Nunavut. I think it a great idea to add the Native language. That way someone could make a custom map using Native Languages. However, I think we should get some feedback from local mappers and other people who use the data, not someone from Toronto.
