[OSM-talk-be] Nice visualization of how old buildings are

[Pieter Colpaert]

Hi Glenn,

I thought it could be an easy way to give a demo to Belgians of why open 
data and mapping is awesome. If it's too much work I would indeed not 
bother with it, yet Waag society said they can do it fairly quickly, as 
long as they have the data.

Kind regards,

Pieter
