Statcan could improve the data and make it more consistent. On this front I agree with the dissenters - I appreciate that Statcan has put the licence stamp on the data, but otherwise they're basically throwing it over the fence and hoping people do work for them for free. I personally don't care about 89 degree angles, but it's tough to argue in Statcan's favour here. > Both your input and Nate's are useful in that at least they confirm my > thoughts that there is little chance of moving forward on a Canada wide basis. > > Hopefully the Toronto mappers can sort something out for Toronto and the rest > will follow in time. As a Toronto mapper, I'm happy to load data into JOSM and press Q on it if that's approved, but for sake of mental health I will not be posting to the imports mailing list. > I seem to recall Montreal thought it would sort something out internally was > it as soon as they reached three mappers per square kilometer? Last I recall from Montreal on this mailing list, they were saying they added about 2500 buildings per month by hand. So they should be done within 20 years. Maybe they've discussed more locally. --Jarek _______________________________________________ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
