Hi all, hope you are all well... Just want to explain why task 2328 [1 <http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/2328>] is set to high priority on the tasking manager.
Usually, I don't set any Missing Maps projects higher than medium unless there is an urgent operational need from MSF. This one is slightly different. We are trialing DG's +Vivid service [2 <http://microsites.digitalglobe.com/interactive/basemap_vivid/>] (and thanks to DG for the free trial) as a solution to where there is no coverage in bing on a large scale. This rural area of Masisi was pretty much unmapped until now. Originally, the trial was for a few months, but with the yellow fever outbreak in Kinshasa and Hurricane Matthew, the project (rightly) got bumped down the list. We now need to wrap this up as our last extension for access to +Vivid is coming to an end. So, I have graduated it (and one more like it) to high priority - just thought I should explain as I realise this bumps other people's projects down the home page.. Thanks for bearing with us! And, a huge thanks to all of you that have contributed already. Please feel free to jump in if you have time!
