[CivicAccess-discuss] RFC: postal codes => edid

[Daniel Haran]

Hi folks,

With Nicolas' help in scraping various sites, I'm almost done getting
the edid for each postal code in canada.

There's still some scripting involved to extract the data from the
downloaded pages, and some might have to be re-tried. Still, it's only
a matter of hours / a couple days until this data can be released.

So, 2 questions:

1 - Besides announcing it here, should I do anything to let people
know this data is now available? Media, politicians, NGOs?

2 - Mostly for those techies here: what's the best format for this? I
don't know what format StatsCan uses, or that's it's even a good idea
to copy it. How's a plain text, key/value postal_code=edid file?
