[Talk-ca] New project update

[Ellefsen, Bjenk (STATCAN)]

Paul, 

All this is open for discussion at this point. We are looking at all the options.
By defining a project its more like stating what information we wish to focus on.
We hope to work with the OSM community and we are looking at different ways of doing that.
We also have different data sources that we will be evaluating to potentially link to these buildings.

Thanks for your feedback!

Bjenk

Hey Bjenk,
When you say "define a project" are you talking about

(a) describing a scope of work that StatsCan intends to resource and complete?
(b) describing a scope of work that StatsCan hopes the OSM community
will complete on your behalf?

You've used the passive voice in describing the actual collection in
your description below, so it's not completely clear who you think
will be collecting the information.

ATB,

P
