Sounds like they are trying to reinvent OSM, but for waterways only.
Perhaps people with particular knowledge of waterways in OSM might wish to
contact them?
"British Waterways is currently working with 20 employees from BT, whose
volunteering programme encourages employees to support local communities,
to carry out a trial of the mapping process in London. They are mapping
comprehensive data on access points, barriers, facilities and public
transport as well as information on the surface type, average width and
gradient of the towpath and GPS-linked photographs of the locations. Once
the map is live on www.waterscape.com, members of the public will be able
to add updates, providing an up-to-the-minute picture of the condition of
the towpaths."
