We have lots of people talking about this.
Yay!
We have a wiki page somewhere that covers some ground. Could
someone remind me of the address?
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Canada/Building_Canada_2020
needs lots of improvements. I started. I see Steve A did a bunch as
well.
Do we have anyone willing to project manage this? It is a very big
project with lots of aspects and complications to it.
I have not heard of any. I am willing to help some, but it really
needs to be a full-time person (or bunch of people to make it to full
time).
Do we have a list of attributes that should be added to buildings?
If they aren't on the wiki then I think they should be.
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Canada/Building_Canada_2020#The_data_being_mapped
Although I think the list is impractical... how to get all the
attributes listed?
I am aware of public wif, levels, use ie commercial, residential.
There are some tiles set up somewhere for mapping and validation.
Could we have a pointer to them please if they aren't on the wiki
already.
We have interest from schools and universities do we have any
material that could be used for them?
Do we have a "hello to help with this project please use Bing
imagery with JOSM building_tool plugin on the following tiles. If
you use iD please be very careful and map the building outlines
exactly."
and "this is how you add a tag?"
Needs to be added. The folks doing Ottawa buildings recently probably
have the best experiences to provide guidence to newbies. Also
probably should be a template for the tasking manager to point at.
(For all the building related tasks).
If the Ottawa/Gatineau experience teaches us anything, I suspect that
doing buildings is going to be a multi-step process per
municipality/region/province. Import stuff, manually map stuff, add
more tags, whatever... ie going from zero buildings to "perfect"
buildings in one shot is not reasonable.
