[Talk-ca] Voluntary re-licensing begins

[john whelan]

Of course the really evil thought would be to look upon it as an
excuse to zap the existing road network and bring it in again
certainly in Ottawa.  Just think roads that met and are routable,
roads with the correct names on them.  Even though I've spent many
hours cleaning up the existing Ottawa road network roads that have the
wrong name on them are very difficult to pick out.  The roads that
were imported from Geobase 2009  with out street names are a lot
easier to find and correct.

Years ago I was taught clients put quality / reliability first,
programmers tend to put speed first, some how I don't think we are
ready for the first end users yet.
