Please feel free to expand on the very brief wiki entry. Basically I just rendered a very specific part of the OSM database as points for a very specific purpose (in comparison: the OSM standard layer is rendered with mapnik, using a big part of the DB/many features for a general purpose: a nice looking map). While this could be done with other tools of course, with cartodb it just seem to work out smoothly and quickly. This exercise wasn't necessarily meant to create follow-up activities, however if it would be considered useful we could work on another example that would actually update the map on a regular basis, showing clusters of certain potential issues. > building=hut > I've been tagging the round thatched buildings used as residences in > many parts of the Ebola affected areas as 'building=hut'.

Just to get this straight: I was experimenting with filtering the data and visualizations, it was not at all my intention to claim that specific tags should not be used! Actually I have used building=hut as well as I saw it around and it seemed to make sense...
