What is URL?

Even though you asked whether I would like to help and I said yes, the
communications so far have give me the impression that you want to work
on it solo, which is less of a problem if there's a clear timeframe to
complete it. After all it was started in 2021 and stalled, and this is a
community project to improve the VIC address coverage for everyone. To
get it done I will continue working on it as I have been in the past few
weeks. If Stage 2 is done I will push for progress in Stage 3, and so
on.
