Off-topic, but might be relevant to some other later project...

issues that cause these things. There are other reasons why that
specific e-alert pointed to parl.gc.ca rather than using the already
purchased postal-code --> EDID database.
We have 308 MPs (plus the Minister for Public Works) with information
about each, and I don't know of any group that is maintaining a table of
information about these MPs. While we at MPH keep the name and email
address updated in our database, we didn't keep the phone number or
constituency office updated which is one of the things we were wanting
people to look up.
Does anyone know of a structured WIKI, something that would allow a
group to collaboratively maintain a table of information?
