Hi all, I'm sorry for not reacting faster (after the mumble with Pierre and Andrew electricity/internet cut and it came only back in the morning), but... what you did is really awsome! I just downloaded the new field papers which we are going to use today with all the new information on it! It is so great! It also really impressesd our new OpenStreetMap fellows and the MSF team!
Today we will launch a new task for you, where your help is also really welcome!. By the way the way you are mapping now is really pefect! What we are focussing on here is most of all on the streetnames and the names of the neighbourhouds. This is really important to have the possibility to localize the people. However an issue is that there are not always official names, and the people are using their own names or even have only names with a reference point, like the street next to the lady who is brewing alcohol. So this street is now baptizised as the brewery street! And yes, we will be on mumble around 13h to have a chat with you! See/hear you soon!
