Hi all: Asking for experience to join a project is always tricky, as it carries the risk that some mappers decide not to join because they may think they are not skilled enough to participate.
Having this in mind, I always try to be us much detailed as possible when writing the workflow wiki (getting the old UNICEF import for Central African Rep. as a reference), so users have a better chance to decide by themselves if they will be able to do it or not. The good thing on trying to work with one of these tasks is that you have the chance to learn some tools and skills that you don't usually need for standard TM projects. In case you hesitate, or don't understand one or more steps in the workflow wiki [1], please don't hesitate to ask questions here or directly to me. And improvements to the wiki are always VERY WELCOME! As a first improvement, I added a small warning about very short MSD&JSI segments that you will find plenty of them. Those short segments are most of the times highway=service instead of highway=residential, as they are usually access to health related facilies gathered by MSD or JSI orgs [2] The job ahead is big, as it will more than doubled the road coverage in OSM for Tanzania. So take it easy and rest from time to time! Cheers, and have a nice week, Rafael.
