Oops, i pressed a 'send' to fast :) (directed to talk-ca list) anyway, i guess that once the full import is done with all features added, it should spark some major interest in the project. (so less need to be concerned about updates)
I like the idea of converting the new data to osm format, this way yes the team working on the area really would need to work together so to avoid duplicate work. By using that (to-be-imported-osm-file) we can do selective extracts. Although our 'mapping-army' is small; it just means that it will take more time. (3.3 people per square km) I'm ok with Nova Scotia, yukon & alberta to start. And if we take or time; (and bug the other provinces), by the time we got those 3 fully merged, the other provinces could be ready. Fyi -we do have Scouts canada who (probably-maybe) would be able to help once we got the system roling. :) I do think that were all clear on; not to import anything from CanVec that is already in GeoBase & make it clear when doing the chart. :) I think were also clear that we can make the import process easy so that any one working on the area can figure it out (showing a step by step instruction page) thats all i got 4 now, happy holidays Sam Vekemans Across Canada Trails On 12/21/08, Sam Vekemans <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks :-) > and happy holidays. > > Yes there is much to learn from other imports. > It also sparks more ideas which i havent yet shared on the list. > > With 3.3 people per square km (plus water, as water navidads are > available-i thik there is more i havent contacted yet. > -1 person for 10 sq > > On 12/21/08, Wolfgang W.
