Wiki page for this earthquake:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/2015_Nepal_earthquake Let's hope our friends
a the Kathmandu Living Labs are all safe today.
Because the community is strong in Nepal (and particularly Kathmandu), the map
is already pretty good. Let's hope aid agencies will found out about our maps
and find them useful.
We should be wary of unleashing task manager jobs on the area. We must
particularly try to avoid the mess created by people getting carried away with
landuse but in silly square shapes (don't do this!)
But there's some work to do. I see a few settlements and their connecting roads
in the river valleys to the northwest of Kathmandu, where we could improve the
map remotely a bit.
See the above wiki page where we can post more coordination info

Have uploaded some high resolution osm extracts of downtown Kathmandu and Patan
to wiki commons that could come in handy for immediate print use:

I’m hearing from old Red Cross friends that many places outside Kathmandu are
also affected. I think we should worry about the city of Pokhara too, it’s a
major city basically equidistant from the earthquake.
