Hi John
Your experience could also be used for some import tasks.
For the West Ebola oubreak response, we have Import tasks that we reserve
to experienced mappers. They are private jobs. If you are interestd to
contribute to these tasks, simply answer me providing your OSM account. You
will find detailed instructions in the Task Jobs. Plus a group of
experienced mappers is there to support for this.
To revise the place names, the contributor have to compare in JOSM layers
from various sources. There is the Bing Imagery, GNS places names and
actually for Liberia UNMIL place names. You have to decide which name to
attribute and revise the tags.
regard
Pierre

I had a look at a couple of those, drop roads in, even looking at those I get
the impression that most roads/tracks had been input or at least all the ones I
could see although the tiles were not marked completed.
I'll have a look at the tasks towards the end perhaps I can find a bit of blank
map there.
Thanks John

so started up JOSM and imaged with Bing, the square I'm looking at looks as if
the basic road network is in already and many of the buildings are in as well.
I can see a need for tags but short of being on the ground I can't think of a
way to find out the information.
