Re: [Talk-us] all our addresses are belong to you

[Ian Dees]

Hi all,

I updated the wiki page for the CAF with some links to converted OSM files:

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/MapQuest/Critical_Addresses#Converted_Files

Please
put your contact info down on that page if you're working on a
state/province/country so we don't get duplicates.

I did, but I held off because most of the data wasn't very useful (points in
the middle of the road or in the middle of a field, etc.)

When I get home I can upload the files I have.

did you do that? I'm curious to look at addresses near me and help import

  A quick look at several in my area:

 1 - Road layout needed updating for intersection improvement
 2 - Road name changed or was wrong in TIGER - surveys needed.
 2-  Probably correct
 1-  Nearby, but was dead center of the street

  I consider this a valuable resource, but definitely don't want a mass 
import.  I can use them as good Mapdust reports - the ones which 
indicate errors are more useful than most Mapdust errors.

Hi All,

I'm planning on converting these to OSM format in the coming hours and
dividing them up into chunks of some size that can be relatively easily
checked by humans.

I'll post to the list and to that page with the chunks later.
