Sounds like they are trying to reinvent OSM, but for waterways only. 
Perhaps people with particular knowledge of waterways in OSM might wish to 
contact them?


"British Waterways is currently working with 20 employees from BT, whose 
volunteering programme encourages employees to support local communities, 
to carry out a trial of the mapping process in London. They are mapping 
comprehensive data on access points, barriers, facilities and public 
transport as well as information on the surface type, average width and 
gradient of the towpath and GPS-linked photographs of the locations. Once 
the map is live on www.waterscape.com, members of the public will be able 
to add updates, providing an up-to-the-minute picture of the condition of 
the towpaths."
