[talk-au] How to efficiently improve AU address coverage?

[Daniel O'Connor]

While OSM doesn't have layers, https://openaddresses.io/ more or less acts
as the address layer. The datasets there aren't all ODBL, but they are
generally open. It includes GNAF. Given how frequently addresses update, to
keep it in sync with OSM would be pretty significant and hard to reconcile
with surveyed, on the ground data.

Getting addresses into OSM is useful for routing, etc, but there might be
more niche datasets that can be of value.

Maproulette is potentially a good way to generate *probably correct but
needs verification *data.
Are there questions you can frame that people can answer with remote
mapping?

IE:
Company X has said they will put solar on all of their stores by (date),
but there are no solar panels within 50m of (store.location)
Company Y shut down, is this store still open?
School area Z doesn't have any sports fields/buildings/etc - are there any
to be mapped?
