Florida is a state in United States at latitude 27.78, longitude -83.77.
Status
All of the TIGER (US Census) data has been loaded, but needs lots of cleanup and merging with the previous data. Some areas have already been updated.
Since there are multiple governments involved in building/maintaining roads, and there doesn't seem to be usable correlation of what they call a road to the types used in OpenStreetMap, road types need to be done by judgment. The following guidelines are for urban areas, and are loosened for rural and tightened in dense urban to avoid making everything secondary or larger in an area.

Tagging ideas for Florida
References for more general information about what to use to tag each kind of road. United States roads tagging, Editing Standards and Conventions, highway tag usage and Interstate Highways Relations.
highway=motorway
Grade separated from other roads with access via on/off ramps with merge lanes. A divided road of at least 2 lanes each direction (the only exception being FL 570 near Lakeland). No signal lights or intersections. All "Interstates" or other divided and limited access roads called "Freeway", "Highway", "Turnpike", or "Expressway". Speed limits generally 55MPH or higher.
highway=trunk
Typically US, State or County highways. Roads that loose one of the requirements of being a motorway.
highway=primary
Typically US, State or County highways. May have cross traffic, but traffic flow on the trunk always has the right of way. Speed limits usually 45 MPH or higher. Mainly roads that connect two or more cities.
highway=secondary
Moves traffic within a city, and surrounding areas. Medium-high traffic volumes.
highway=tertiary
Roadways thru urban, commercial district, or rural low-density housing. Connects residential subdivisions to higher traffic roads.
highway=residential
Primarily subdivision roads with housing on both sides.

Hydrography
Appears that some NHD imports have been done in scattered areas. A good bit of hand tracing water features in scattered areas. A coordinated effort is needed to add the remaining lakes and rivers. In addition, many miles of coastline need re-alignment/improvement.
Railroads
The rail network appears to be in pretty good shape.
Administrative Boundaries
Some areas of improvement utilizing high accuracy municipal sources for reference. Much more to go.
Land Use
Small amounts of improvements scattered around.
Parks
Many large parks mapped. Many smaller ones are not.
Golf Courses
Scattered mapping of various quality.
Tourist Attractions
Scattered mapping of various quality. Florida's #1 economic engine - show me the attractions! The Disney World resort is of high quality, the expansions to The Magic Kingdom will be mapped as they open.
Lodging and Dining
Small amounts of scattered mapping.
Street Addresses
Virtually non-existant?
