Adding to John,
If you did not complete the task, once you saved your edit to the database, you
come back to the Task Manager and add brief comment like newbie, just added
buildings. And you click to unlock the task. This way, the contributor that
later takes the task will see the infos you provided. This will help to
understand what has still to be done.
Thanks for your help. I started like this in January 2010, tracing polygons
around IDP informal camps in Port-au-Prince.

Objet : Re: [HOT] Question about helping as newcomer
If you can use the JOSM buildings plugin and just do buildings for the moment
that would be a great help. There are a lot of buildings to do and they are
simple with the tool.
buildings_tool JOSM edit menu, preferences, fourth tab down for plugins, then
look for buildings_tool, tick the box then update plugins. To use it type b
then click the mouse on a corner, move to the second corner, click, move to the
next corner click and you're done, a perfectly mapped building.

Hi,I'm limiting my newbie mapping in Nepal tasks to things that seem simple.
But I don't want to confuse things with bad data.After reading comments in the
hotlist, I'm sticking to white squares. Is it advisable to go ahead
with:Finding and marking individual buildingsIdentifying bridgesMarking paths
from roads to buildings?These are the only things I can do without guessing, so
I stick to them.
Also, It isn't clear how to label bridges. I couldn't find the dropdowns for
highway that were suggested in the instructions.Also, does it help to mark a
path that seems to disappear in trees? Some of these buildings are isolated and
I thought it would help toshow the part of the path that's clearly visible, if
there's no other access, but not sure.
Like a lot of people who are new, I really want to help. Please advise.
Thank you.
