[Talk-ca] Hydro Network (inland water) question

[OSM Volunteer stevea]

Heck, all kinds of things are fun to map:  bike routes, railways, making sure provincial and TransCanada route relations are all lined up and tagged correctly, bus and public_transport, small details (micro-mapping), like gymnasium/library details and drinking fountain locations in elementary/middle/high schools, it's almost endless.

Now, all the bodies of water in Canada, the 2nd largest geographic country on Earth, and with "hundreds" (you can grow it to thousands, I know you can) of dedicated mappers:  wow, that is something I'd call "you've got your work cut out for you!"

I mean that to be encouraging rather than discouraging.  OSM, it seems (and I've been at it most of its life) is a longer-term project, it's really only starting to fly after fifteen years or so.  Give it a few more decades (really), and even in a few years, it does, can and will get better.  It takes time, it takes dedication, it takes good communication, it takes people working well together.  Largely speaking (and Canada isn't large, it's HUGE!), so far, so good.

Encouragingly,
