Hi Bruno,

Great initiative! I'll try to follow it, albeit not closely. Just about 
6000 km nowadays. ;) Will there be a mailing list or something? French 
is not an issue.

Regarding work in the area: have a look at residential areas which are 
built after 2009. Perhaps a couple of other roads have changed names in 
the meantime. Also the info from the RTC was released under an open data 
license a while back. Maybe it could be use to add more bus lines to 
Quebec City. And of course the Bing imagery in the area is great, which 
could be put to good use as well :)

There is also some work to be done to the Geobase roads which were 
imported in 2009 (by me or others). Those don't have names. It's still 
on my list to do something about it (by either copying the names from 
the latest Canvec roads, or replace them altogether if they aren't 
edited since the import), although I must admit that it has sunken to 
the bottom.

Anyways, it's great to hear that a real community is growing at last :) 
I wish you guys a lot of succes!

Frank
