[Talk-ca] New project update

[Adam Martin]

Hi Bjenk,

I think what Paul meant was more along the lines of what specifically you
wanted to do. You state that you want to define a project, but other than
stating that you want to collect certain information about non-residential
buildings, we have little else to go on.

>From the sound of it, you want to use OSM to collect and map specific
information about these non-residential buildings. Are we talking about the
number of windows in the building or employees? The number of floors or the
specific businesses / activities carried out in them?

Just give us something more to go on and we can discuss it from there :)

Adam
