[Talk-ca] Risques liés à l'édition à proximité de lignes électriques haute tension (note humoristique)

[Matthew Darwin]

No, not automatic edits.

Prior to starting work on Canada level checks I built a series of 
tools that compares City of Ottawa "open data" with OSM data.  Thye 
tools generate a report with a list of things to *consider* as needing 
updating (example: http://matthew.davintech.ca/osm/errors.txt). In 
some cases I found the OSM data reflects more reality and the city is 
out of date.  Every morning I get an email with a list of changes in 
the report.... Today's report was 145 lines long, and in it I found 1 
thing I needed to fix (someone typoed an address). There are a bunch 
others in that report need more review, and others I know I just need 
to ignore as the city data is inconsistent.

This report is how I identified that telnav folks were not updating 
interpolation addresses when they changed the street name (see 
discussion from a few months ago).  This past week they were updating 
street names in Ottawa without also updating the name:fr or putting 
the wrong name:fr.

I think we need more automated checking on OSM data to check if they 
are in accordance with local practices.  Also good if we can build as 
much checking as possible into the editors.
