Tangentially, some of us have been working a system to make it easy to publish
guides. Still in process, and no instructions. But I think this could be a
great place to host Blake's guidelines on West Africa, as well as tips on huts.

be added to the instructions of all HOT West African projects?
I wasn't aware of it before the post on Surface mines characteristics and it
clarified a couple of things for me. It's certainly useful when validating to
have a reference to point enthusiastic mappers to.
If possible could an image showing two or three small settlements of say three
or four huts joined together with what I would normally think of as footpaths
to show how these should be mapped and the connecting highways tagged. I've
noticed some variation between the mappers when validating.
Could we also have a guideline on huts? I've seen them mapped as a single
point and as a circle. In JOSM its very quick to copy and paste a hut but that
does mean slight variations in size are not mapped correctly.
The other issue would be isolated buildings, I tend to map the building rather
than tag it landuse=residential again a guideline would be useful.
Rather than overwhelm the mapper with the idea that everything guidelined needs
to be mapped I suggest somewhere it says perhaps in the instructions "For this
project please map the roads and settlements according to the guidelines here:
