[Talk-ca] Canvec.osm Product - Last Call !!!

[Sam Vekemans]

Hi,
We have crossed all the t's, but not yet dotted the i's.
The wiki charts still need to be udated to show the changes & list
which tags have completed wiki proposal pages.
I think its possable to add colour to the charts for this.

It isn't essential that this gets done, but serves as a way to check
that everything will render fine, or we propose that it  gets rendered
at some point.

I dont have time tommorow to get it done, but i should on sunday.

Sam
