I think this is a great idea and I would really like it if could be
considered as as CivicAccess or COACID action.
For those who might be able to get something like this off the ground.
There is tons of great information here:
http://civicaccess.ca/wiki/CensusActionIt was an activity primarily aimed at the CENSUS however some of the
documentation can be used for the Free the Postal Code Data as well and
there was some good discussion.
I created a spot for people to collaborate here:
http://civicaccess.ca/wiki/Actions, I did not know how you wanted to
call it or what the tagline should so edit away.
