[Talk-ca] geobase NID and canvec ID and SOURCEID

[Sam Vekemans]

Hi, james & richard,

So your creating a script independently of canvec-to-osm?

Using java or python?

If its python, then thats EXACTLY the revision of the script im working on.

The python version could PLEASE handle just the multi-polygons.

That way, we have no toe stepping on.

Canvec-to-osm now deals with the rivers just fine.

Or .... Are you making a full canvec2osm python version, without at
least cc'ing me?

If Richard wants to take the lead for the maintaining of the script(s)
& uploading/archiving, all he has todo is just say so.

I'm happy to let someone else get it all done. :-)

I can then work on the next step, which is dealing with LIO data.

Cheers,
Sam
