Re: [Talk-ca] New project update

I don't think this is going to go very far.  The tile size is huge and that
means its too big to download the existing mapping from OSM even when the
tile is split twice.

For a test perhaps set up another project over Ottawa with a tile size of
no more than a kilometer which when split should just about work downtown.

For your information, a specific task hab been created for this purpose:
(Thanks to #hughwei )
#14 - StatCan Non-residential Buildings : http://tasks.osmcanada.ca/project/14
Feel free to involve into this project and happy mapping!

I'm not sure how those standards would map to OSM and if all the elements are 
there.
Apols to the ca-talk this is probably more open data than anything else.

We would probably break it down in smaller chunks. We were thinking of a

A tasking manager would be very helpful in we do it this way.

Hi Bjenk,

What type of information are you looking to add about buildings? Some data 
belongs in OSM while other attributes might be extraneous. Other people on this 
list will also add their opinion on this issue I'm sure. If it's something 
being done en masse, it's always best to take an abundance of caution to not 
upset people at the errors that might crop up.

If you'd like to break work down into smaller chunks, there are tasking 
managers available (including a Canada specific one) that help out with manual 
tasks.
