Hi all, A few things to note (that i'll be working on too); A -i think we need a todo list 1- make a wiki chart of all the CanVec data available to us (from that pdf file, noted earlier) showing what osm tag(s) to be used... Everthing from Amusement park to Zoo :) 2- finish the GeoBase charts (and include notes on items we dont want included) 3 - check with the sources to make sure we havent missed anything 4 - organize a live video conference, so all action points can be covered 5 - reorganize the wiki page, so facts are on the main part, and discussion is on the talk part 6 - try to make sure that as many mappers as possable in canada (and those who contributed to the map in this area) so everyone can have a say. -this is why we shouldnt rush
B -the Openstreetmap forum is available, and is highly unused. This might be a better way to organize discussion? Or perhaps use the wiki talk pages more and the indent option? Although because we have a wide range of people on the discussion list here, is it best to keep it the way it is? C -i'll be in Vancouver in the next couple weeks, if anyone in the area wants to meet in person to brainstorm. There certainly got to be areas we havent covered yet. :-) D -are we in unanamous agreement that the way to do the import is to; Create a program which will detect existing OSM data and add the UUID# reference onto the point/way/polygon/relation so that it will not interfer with existing data, placing only new points/ways/polygons and so future updates will be able to use this software to only add new data.? -if so, then there is no reason to slow down mapping, as OSM takes priority. E - do we have agreement that the NHN can go ahead with a test import; provided that, care is taken to only include non existant osm data, and that as many osm tags are figured out as much as possable? F - and F, well f is for fun. Remember that we are doing this for free, and enjoy this awesome challenge. Have a great day Sam Vekemans Across Canada Trails _______________________________________________ Talk-ca mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
