Great initiative! Never seen Tasking Manager before, but it looks a
solid platform for breaking down and logging tasks.

Maybe though on http://tasks.osmcanada.ca/project/7

“addr:postcode = (Collect from CanadaPost)”

We can't do that. Canada Post Postal Code data is absolutely /not/ open
data (if it were, why would they be suing Ervin still?
http://geocoder.ca/?sued=1) and shouldn't be in OSM.

cheers,
 Stewart

Glad to hear you are making use of the task manager.  HOT has been
discussing various improvements to the software, as well as provisions
for making it easier for others to make use of the toolset.  I have
cc'ed Pierre Giraud who is the lead developer of the tasking manager
software so that he can be aware of where it is being used.

I hope the tool is useful to you and that you do lots of awesome
mapping with it.  :)

[Talk-ca] Canadian Openstreetmap Task Manager + Central Website

2014-10-24 Thread Richard Burcher
Hi Folks,

A bunch of us have gotten together and said, hey wouldn't it be great if we
started something similar like our southern neighbors from the US
Openstreetmap Chapter [1] have that has become a hub of community
engagement. A central and easily accessible place where the Canadian
community (or others just finding Openstreetmap for the first time) can
find information [2], upcoming events and access to a dedicated OSM Task
Manager [3] for mapping tasks.

We strongly feel that this is a great starting point to help further spread
the use, adoption and mapping of Openstreetmap in Canada. We really hope
this endeavour will help our community. We've kicked this off because we
saw a need for it. It’s everyones community, so please let us know what you
think and what we should be doing.

Feel free to jump in; we could always use help:)

If you'd like to have admin access to the Tasking Manager (allows you to
create mapping tasks), please either drop a line at [4] or on the mailing
list.


Cheers,

Folks from the Ottawa Openstreetmap group [5]
