<p dir="ltr">Hi Bjenk,</p>
<p dir="ltr">What type of information are you looking to add about buildings? Some data belongs in OSM while other attributes might be extraneous. Other people on this list will also add their opinion on this issue I'm sure. If it's something being done en masse, it's always best to take an abundance of caution to not upset people at the errors that might crop up. </p>
<p dir="ltr">If you'd like to break work down into smaller chunks, there are tasking managers available (including a Canada specific one) that help out with manual tasks. </p>

<div>Hello everyone,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Basically, what we would like to do is define a project for OSM to collect information about non-residential buildings.</div>
<div>We would like to popose a list of what would be collected. We were thinking of identifying specific areas to start with.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Cheers,</div>
