Yes CanVec data is compatible with OSM as there was an agreement between the Canadian gov and osm in the past. NRCan even serves up osm files for their CanVec Data here: http://ftp2.cits.rncan.gc.ca/OSM/pub/
#24 is to go deeper as in validating that data imported/mapped in 22 and 23 as some mappers might not be experts in validating data and there might be technical issues like bridges/streets that are semantically correct, but not technically correct (in this example you have to say that one street passes over another with the layer tag and a bridge tag) You could consider 22 and 23 as a "quick" mapping. Where as 24 is correcting technical issues that more experienced users (like andrew and john :P) can point out/fix problems On Fri, May 13, 2016 at 2:37 PM, Dan Joseph <dan.b.jos...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi James, > > It looks like some good progress is being made on the tasks. > > Tasks #22 and #23 are focused on mapping different features but it looks > like #24 overlaps in focus.
