Hi James, It looks like some good progress is being made on the tasks.
Tasks #22 and #23 are focused on mapping different features but it looks like #24 overlaps in focus. Perhaps that task should be archived until the other two are completed to avoid confusion among newcomers to the site? Task #23 only provides minimal instructions (*Add address data via GeoBase. Add missing Roads and Street names.*). Would more people feel comfortable contributing if detailed instructions were included? It seemed the task is referring to the dataset described here: http://ftp2.cits.rncan.gc.ca/pub/geobase/official/nrn_rrn/doc/NRN.pdf Is the Canada open government licence compatible with OSM?
