Hi, I'm also prepared to contribute to finish this task and improve the CAR-map.
The WRI road-dataset isn't that big but it's not an easy task and still a lot of work. I'm not sure a few mappers will be enough but it would be nice to at least be able to start some work. I was just waiting on the import-guys to clear this. There is the other problem of not having imagery available everywhere in the country. How do we handle this? I would suggest not adding the data in those regions. Many of the WRI-roads are very inaccurate and if we can't correct their geometry...
