Lots of congrats from my side for achieving the basemap, and especially
for the building of a community, smaller number of trained OSMers
periodically joined by a larger group of mappers for special projects
seems to be the way to go. Keep up the good work!

I wanted to just let everyone here know that #MapLesotho has now got a
complete basemap. As Martin Dittus has shown it all started with a the
enormous tasks in July 2014. Sorry that those dragged :), but then
anything covering a whole country will. To everyone out there who
helped let me say thanks.
Now the #MapLesotho story moves on. The flocking and sustaining
effects of mappers here on hotosm creates a sense of purpose. Lesotho
now has an indigenous mapping community of 10 regular mappers and 70
others who participate when they can. They are big enough now to
sustain 11 tasks and are mapping all June in a relay fashion starting
today in Quthing and going around eleven venues in Lesotho clockwise
until the 30th.
Lesotho is a disaster preparedness mapping project. It doesn't need
your urgent attention. All the same stop on by the tasks - 1941 today
- to take a tile or validate. Or simply shout your warm #MapLesotho
wishes on twitter as they like to see the support. There will be a
blog post each day on the wordpress from whoever is holding the mapathons.
