GPS traces are uploaded to the OSM GPX API rather than the map database. 
Unless there are specific privacy reasons that prevent it, I'd encourage 
the traces to be uploaded so all mapper can benefit from them.

I think the first thing to do is to define exactly where Kendua is.  In OSM
there are a number of locations that are in Bangladesh.  If its the
location that is near Dhaka then there has been some recent mapping on the
ground in Dhaka.  http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/831, 833, 838.

Generally speaking the process is find some high resolution imagery then
use remote mappers.  Others within the group will know the process better
than I.

If you have good GPS traces where there are no high buildings which can
cause problems then one method that was used in Dhaka is to make them
available on a google drive etc, they don't need to be uploaded or imported
into OSM then someone such as myself can import them into JOSM and map the
roads from them.

If its around lat 23.8145821 23.8550163 long 90.5169869 90.5851134 then
there is some fairly good high resolution imagery available from
*DigitalGlobe’s
WorldView-2* satellite that covers a fair bit of the area and generally
speaking I think its easier to use than GPS data.

You should be aware that not all HOT projects get mapped instantly, and
ones that request every building gets mapped often drag on so think what is
the minimum you need.  You can always request roads first then do another
HOT task for buildings later.

[HOT] Request for help/guidance on a project to test diarrheal disease interventions in Kendua Sub-District, Bangladesh.

[Stacey Maples]

All, 

I'm working with a faculty member studying the efficacy of mobile app based 
interventions, who needs detailed street and building footprints for his pilot. 
He is working in the Kendua sub-district of Bangladesh, initially, and needs 
data for health workers to use to identify cholera patients homes/home village, 
pharmacies, etc... I've pasted his abstract, below. If he finds efficacy, he 
will likely expand the project to other sub-districts. We are wondering several 
things: 

First, what is the process to have a project added to the Task Manager? 

Second, do you happen to currently have mappers in this area who could work on 
this? 

Finally, we may be able to obtain gps traces from food delivery drivers to 
upload to OSM. It would be great to have a training for them if there are 
mappers in the area, or in Dhaka who would be willing to travel. Wondering who 
to contact about the possibility of that (I know bulk uploads are frowned upon 
unless coordinated with OSM). 

Thanks in advance for your time, I've pasted the abstract for the project, 
below my signature.

Leveraging mobile technology to improve clinical outcomes and scientific 
research of the second leading cause of childhood death: diarrheal disease 

Abstract 
Diarrheal disease is the second leading cause of death among children under 5 
years of age globally. We are specifically interested in the diarrheal disease 
cholera because of the devastating impact the disease has on at-risk 
populations and the emerging opportunities to leverage mobile technology to 
overcome fundamental clinical, epidemiologic, and scientific challenges. 
Despite effective treatments and advances in provider education, cholera case 
fatality rates remain unacceptably high. Conventional methods have been unable 
to overcome barriers to provide patients timely access to care in resource-poor 
settings. This is especially true early in outbreaks because response teams are 
slow to mobilize and cholera can infect, transmit and kill in less than 20 
hours. Our research challenge is to take an unconventional approach to develop 
a new method using mobile technology to identify outbreak clusters early, 
improve care, and advance our basic understanding of the disease. The specific 
aims of this project are to (i) develop mobile technology for clinical decision 
support and real-time epidemiology, (ii) test the mobile-technology and 
determine microbial correlates to disease progression at the hospital level, 
and (iii) test the mobile-technology and determine microbial correlates to 
disease progression at the community level. We chose to develop and test this 
strategy in partnership with the Ministry of Health of Bangladesh at a site 
with high cholera morbidity and relatively high mortality. We anticipate this 
NIH funded research will provide an exciting cross-departmental forum for 
collaboration and training, as well as a pathway to discovery that will 
directly benefit populations inflicted with diseases like cholera.
