I only check this list every week or two, so sorry for the delay in
replying. I'm very interested in collaborating on the Canadian federal
information keyed on Electoral District.

Perhaps as a start different webservices could be set up to share different
pieces of this data being held in different repositories. Does someone like
Russell or Cory want to start a wiki where interested folks like myself can
contribute to the technical design. Cory's already got his code on
SourceForge, so adding a web service for it will be easier.

On another note, I also found out from Natural Resources Canada that the
federal electoral district maps are available through GeoGratis, but not the
provincial data. See
