Hi folks, So SteveC's blog post sparked a bit of conversation today: http://stevecoast.com/2012/11/28/openstreetmap-addressable/
I'd love to see OSM US lead the way on collecting high quality addressing data from as many places as possible and throw it in to OSM. To that end I started with this spreadsheet here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AsVnlPsfrhUIdEVZTzVFalFYYnlvTkc0R05wcUpsWVE I think we should crowd-source an effort to collect as much local addressing data as possible, convert it to OSM format, and import it. Obviously we should do it in a controlled manner and follow the usual import guidelines, but a *large* part of the work is in collecting the data in the first place and convincing municipalities to license it to us in a compatible manner. Is anyone else interested in this? I could use some help gathering volunteers to the cause. -Ian
