I think the first problem to be addressed is the presence or absence of
a local community.
In the north we have few mappers but lots of interested agencies and
people in seeing the buildings imported.
Montreal I think is under control. Toronto is in the process of sorting
itself out but I'm unclear how much territory the Toronto local group
covers.
Vancouver should be big enough to support a local group. As should
Calgary and Edmonton.
Ottawa is complete as is Gatineau.
It's the smaller cities and regions that would be my concern. Often it
will be by chance that two or more mappers meet occasionally.
So step one can we list the local groups?
I also have a problem with what happens if two people agree but haven't
done any mapping are they a local group?
Step two to me would be a consensus on how to tackle those areas without
a local group and I think Daniel's suggestion would be a way forward in
this area.

wasn't there talk about this before and someone blocked it because of
non-square buildings and the resulting discussion was that each
community was going to decide if they want to import or not?

Hi Group!
I am currently working on a proposal which, I hope, will bring
consensus among the community and relaunch the import of ODB
footprints (StatCan). The proposal should be ready in a few weeks,
or sooner.
In the meantime, I suggest to all those who are interested to take
note of the observations I made regarding these data. This
information can be found in the OSM wiki (1). According to OSM
import guideline requirements, it describes the data to import. At
the same time, I updated the Canada-federal section of the Data
Potential wiki page (2).
I will be offline in the next few days, so if you have any
questions/comments, please be patient :-)
