Hi Martijn, > Was some sort of progress page kept so we could see where certain features > were imported or not (yet)? Yes, here: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Canada_Import_Status
and the related Google Spreadsheet, but it's only kept patchily up to date, and some users appear to have blocked off an entire major grid square rather than updating the smaller blocks as they go. > Has a followup ever been considered to augment / fix these botched / low > quality imports? Occasional mentions on talk-ca, but when you're facing landuse relations each with a large number of ways with the maximum number of nodes, it's a hugely daunting task. Fixing broken lakes alone could take a lifetime. > Ah, interesting. Is there already a list of these candidates or would it make > sense to start one and look into proper licensing? Most of the local governments in Canada are listed on the Import page, or as Contributors, where they are compatible. Most of them are now using their own homebrew variant (sigh) of OGL 2.0. The one glaring omission is the official Canadian Postal Codes database. It is proprietary. My beef with much of the urban data I work with is that addresses are plagued with unnecessary *addr:city*, *addr:country* and *addr:province* tags when we have working boundary relations. Municipal addresses, street addresses and postal addresses are not necessarily the same in Canada! cheers, Stewart
