I spent a few hours trying to get started on Task #1245 Burkina Faso,
consolidated mapping, Base Roads Check
<http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/1245> last night, but gave up in the
end. I had two problems (with another down the line, probably):
-- I had forgotten, if I ever knew, how to add presets in JOSM. It
didn't help that I muddled presets and plugins in my mind. A couple of
sentences should be added to say how to do this. I don't mind updating
that part of the Wiki, assuming I have the authority.
-- The second point is that the instructions usually provide a URL for
the imagery to be ysed. I couldn't find any such URL. As a general
comment, the gRoads link is to to a text description, and if you do a
lot of link-following from there you eventually get to the database
gRoads uses. But I don't think that is what the project activators intended.
-- It's not clear what that preset is for. You probably need a few lines
explaining that.
I believe these comments also apply to two or three sister tasks.
