[OSM-talk-ie] Townland mapping, time for another update I think

[Dave Corley]

Hi all,

So there's been amazing progress on the townland mapping with more and
more new people pitching in which means there are many days when
people are mapping townlands up to and above a rate of 100 a day. That
is just nuts! In a good way :D

To give an indication, in the last 7 days, 560+ townlands were added
by 12 different people.....and thats a quiet week!. There have been
weeks where we have come close to 1,000+ townlands mapped.

Anyway, on to the numbers. We broke 40% total coverage a few days ago
for a total of

24,313 townlands
624 electoral divisions
579 civil parishes
99 baronies

Looking at it from a county by county perspective, it breaks down as follows

== Completed ==

Antrim
Carlow
Fermanagh
Laois
Longford
Offaly
Sligo
Westmeath
Wexford
Wicklow

== In Progress == including % complete

Cavan - 27%
Clare - 38%
Derry - 13%
Down - 68%
Dublin - 52%
Galway - 57%
Kildare - 50%
Leitrim - 48%
Meath - 89%
Roscommon - 31%
Tyrone - 37%

== Not Being Mapped (by province) == including % complete

* Ulster *
Armagh 0%
Donegal - 16%
Monaghan - 2%

*Connacht *
Mayo - 10%

* Leinster *
Kilkenny - 3%
Louth - 0%

* Munster *
Cork - 0%
Kerry - 3%
Limerick - 0%
Tipperary - 3%
Waterford - 0%

What does all this mean? Well there is still great progress being made
all over the country on a more or less even basis with the exception
of Munster. If there are people on this list interested in helping to
get Munster going a bit more, please feel free to check out the wiki
page which provides all the info you will need.
