[Aust-NZ] linz2osm2linz

[Sam Vekemans]

hi all,
for those interested in learning about how the canvec processs works
for canada, and getting changes back,
feel free to ask on the talk-ca at openstreetmap.org list.


NRCan will be making diff files of omissions and remissions, of
osm/canvec data hopefully for the fall.


anyway, im working on an international tagging schema, so are there
any more tagging matches done than is already posted to the wiki?


Thanks,
sam
