In Africa, roads shouldn't be classified based on their conditions, width, surface, etc, but, as it is stated in the Highway_Tag_Africa wiki, the main source of classification should be their importance in the communication among towns and villages. It takes some time to adapt when coming from mapping in developed countries. > > Huts? I've tagged building=house again really it needs some > guidelines / standard to be more useful. Do your best.

Many jobs in the Tasking Manager are part of a HOT activation. Every activation is coordinated by one or two people. For example, the Ebola activation is coordinated by Pierre Béland and Andrew Buck.
