Dear All,
Let's talk about it again. How do we feel about the bulk copying of
information from a permitted source into OpenStreetMap in Canada?
To be clear, I'm not suggesting that we discuss whether external data
sources are good or not. External data sources are good. I'm
suggesting that we

Bonjour,
I know that I'm not totally unbiased !-) but as it is an important question,

Thanks to all who have provided imports. Keep it up. We have a MAP now!
In some areas... there are still vast expanses with little to no

Hello all,
As a former resident of Saskatchewan, I vote for imports - done by a
select few people who know how to do it well. I've been slowly bringing

I think the question posed in the subject 'good or bad' is the wrong one. Is
