Hi Adam & talk-ca list, Just looking at your changesets. looks good :)
Wondering, is it needed to include the canvec2osm version # ? (maybe not) When i loaded the data (before) i listed the exact .osm file and did an upload for each one. Is it needed to keep separate? I guess as long as the chart link is listed on the wiki, it should be good, right? And can have a link to where people can now see the rules.txt file.
