[OSM-talk-be] TEC & Open Data: let's start !

[Jo]

Hi Andre,

I'm almost done converting the village names to proper capitalisation,
including accents. I also have a system set up to calculate route_ref. It's
slower than I would like, but it works. (Reading the data into postGIS that
is). Most of the work involved is stuff I had already done for the data of
De Lijn. The data from TEC comes in a different format and I'm looking for
a more efficient way to process it. Inserting line by line is not the way
to go.

I couldn't find your file, so I had to start from scratch.

Just a few more days and I'll release it.
