[Talk-ca] CanVec import - willing to help

[Sam Vekemans]

Hi Tyler,
cc:talk-ca

Well, there is lots of Natural Protected areas that can be imported in
the Manitoba area. As well as the Aborigional lands data.

For the canvec data, the script is available, in python. So others are
doing their own conversion. So you can ask on the talk-ca@ list. The
canvec samples that daniel begin just sent out, is the most current
version of the tags to use.

Others are on the main IRC chat #osm on oftc.net

For the Natural protected areas & geobase aboriginal lands, its just
opening the files in JOSM and copying in the localist data, and fixing
up the tags to see whats best. I have done a few samples around the
Marathon, Ontario area. But not sure if the tags are the best. And it
needs that english / french labels to be fixed/added, if people like
it.

Cheers,
Sam
