[talk-au] Fwd: Re: data.sa.gov.au

[Alex Sims]

I've now obtained permission and recorded it at 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Contributors#South_Australian_Government_data

This is really very helpful as it allows:
* at least a first pass for filling in "nonames" roads
* geo-referencing  Bing photos against property boundaries at least near 
the CBD
* accurate Local Government and Suburb boundaries as opposed to ABS 
approximations
* more bike lanes, playgrounds, fire stations, ambulance stations etc. 
to be included

I followed a similar path to what was used for data.gov.au, and would 
comment that the day to write seeking permission/clarification is today 
as it takes a while, but the outcome is worth it.

Anyway I'm excited and quite pleased, just wish I had more time for mapping.

I'm just writing an email now to seek a similar agreement for 
sa.data.gov.au as for data.gov.au
