[talk-au] Mapping houses and addresses in Sydney

[Daniel O'Connor]

For knowing "whats mapped" at a high level, I like http://qa.poole.ch - I
believe it has filters for unmapped addresses.

On the ground stuff - streetcomplete does really well at prompting for
things without address, highly recommend.



Setting up a task manager instance; I reckon it could make a lot of sense
for us as a community. We seem to be a small group who punch above our
weight in terms of how spread out we are but have much we have mapped.
Alternatively, maproulette tasks.

It seems to work well for US imports of address/buildings/etc; and its
reasonable to expect that:
- One day; the gnaf will be suitable for import or
- LPI Basemap NSW addresses or otger data.gov.au imports for an entire
town/area/etc make sense.
- There will be communities within the AU mapping crowd with focuses
(camping; cycling; tourism; public transport spring to mind)

Looking at https://github.com/hotosm/tasking-manager/blob/develop/README.md
it seems like python/postgres are the main server hosting requirements.
