Hi all,
I discovered (after uploading a few features) that it makes sence to
add "canvec:Entity " and "canvec:value" to the list. This will help
users in identifying the intent of the people that made the choices to
lable the data the way they did. And see that the sugested OSM tag is
shown, but can be changed.
I dont think its need to include the full description, as it can be
found on the wiki. But having the basics helps users see the
differences of each feature.

Trails: Yes, many trails are available in the canvec dataset, HOWEVER
they are rather basic (few nodes marking it, and no lables for usages
/ 'sac_scale', and amenities helpful to trail use arnt all that
plentiful :)

If you want a sample area made for your area, just ask :-)
Changes to the script will still be made, so it doesnt make sence to
upload any data (yet).

It would be great to hear from people on if they would vote 'yes' on
the features loaded already and the other features.
Thanks,

Sam Vekemans
