Thanks Sam. Now hopefully no one on the other boards will rip into me
for daring to import. :) You might also want to look at the MLI
provincial forest data and the other goodies on the admin. boundaries
list. (I don't know what you are interested in). Sadly with the
exception of the Winnipeg Transit, the City of Winnipeg doesn't believe
in open data.

So that's a good reason why i'm actively working on the alternative(s) :-)

To get back on topic, I'll get back to this list once i have the
rules.txt/.pl script and shp/.osm files available of the MLI park
boundary data, since many would like to see this data on the various
map APIs.
cheers,
Sam
p.s. i'll probably be done it before step 5 roles around :-)

I see, my bad. I'm just a little frustrated about the lack of
communication. I should say that I have already accepted the new terms
(sorry Sam).

I think that's just out of date, like so much in the wiki. New users
signing up are sent to a different wiki page when they decline:

Stage 3 is is very late, and no reason is given as to why.
I believe the main reason is because of the ongoing attempt to improve
the contributor terms to deal with various issues which people raised
with them. Unfortunately reworking them takes time because of the need
to keep passing each draft over to the lawyers for review.
As for the update, why is it not monitored?
I don't know - maybe the board has established a Community Monitoring
Group yet? Maybe you should suggest it to them?
You seem to have me confused with somebody in authority ;-)
