Quebec mapping project

If you're interested in contributing to mapping in Québec province, check the Québec OSM project page. Most contributions for Québec in this wiki are in French, so these pages will probably be more up to date: FR:Québec

A Sense of Scale

The Quebec roads total approximately 185,000 km. At a mapping speed of 5km/h, in groups of 10 people working 10 hours a day, this would necessitate 370 days of walking. If done on all 52 weekends of a year, that's 7,1 years.
