[Talk-ca] counting buildings - ( 2020 project ) - help please.

[john whelan]

One of the requirements was to create something that did not require an
Internet connection or a Ph.D. in OpenStreetMap jargon.

Another was the ability to combine the information with other data.

As I mentioned I'm after end users rather than OSM technically
knowledgeable ones.

Thank you for your thoughts and hopefully the answers will clarify what
sort of assistance I'm after.
