Sorry, I should have made this clearer: I made the document read-only because I didn't want griefers hopping in there. If you're interested in helping at all please give me your e-mail address and I'll add you as an editor.<div class="gmail_extra">

</div><div><br></div><div>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:</div>

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 <b>large</b> 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.</div>

<div><br></div><div>Is anyone else interested in this? I could use some help gathering volunteers to the cause.</div><span><font color="#888888"><div><br></div><div>-Ian</div>
