the in the first place, at the time hot-export service was designed.
3857 is the standard projection for rendering web maps. If ArcGIS has 
problems with it, try 900913 which is an older non-standard name for the 
same projection.


3785 is another old name, which EPSG replaced with 3857. The three above 
are equivalent, but http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/EPSG:3857 has 
more information.


It really shouldn't matter what projection they're in, as any analysis 
software should be able to reproject at will, and any rendering will 
either be it or in some local projection that can't be used globally.

[HOT] Mikel Maron Chosen as a Presidential Innovation Fellow

[Jaakko Helleranta / Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT)]

Dear HOT Community,

Today HOT is excited to announce that Mikel Maron has been awarded a
Presidential Innovation Fellowship (PIF). We have more information
regarding this on HOT’s blog
.
The award of this PIF to Mikel further marks an exciting time for HOT as
our work is recognized by traditional institutions.

Mikel has decided to step down from the role of President of the Board, but
will remain an at-large Board Member. The HOT Board will discuss the next
steps in tomorrow’s regular monthly meeting and we will be electing a new
Board President at the latest in our October meeting. As the Vice President
I will stand in as President until that time.

If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact me or any of the
Board members via email, Skype, Twitter, IRC or Mumble, or WhatsApp or
regular phone.

With best regards,
-Jaakko

Re: [HOT] http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/641#task/13 - query over interpretation

[Andrew Buck]

Again, I can't see it so don't know what the deal is but most of the mines in 
that area are quite small. 50 meters would probably be about average.

Hi Latte,

looking at https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/6.323615/-10.756164 the Bing 
imagery is not very clear but looking both at Bing and Mapbox imagery  I see an 
area of about 50meters x 50meters maxi. This seems too small to suggest that 
this is a mine or a quarry.  I would ignore this.

It looks a bit like mine, but I think they're abandoned. Certainly since it's 
so close to Monrovia, it must have been found pretty early, and is probably 
completely empty already.

It's certainly a lot smaller than other mines I've found (further inland in S-L 
f.e.).

Re: [HOT] Double tracings

[Nick Allen]

Charlotte,

My answer is similar to Sander's

There are lots of ways this can happen;
If your editing lasts more than 120 minutes, unless you relock it, your 
square is automatically released and another mapper could select it,
If one of you is using  JOSM or another offline editor, at the time of 
downloading the others buildings may not have been present, allowing you 
to each trace the same area then upload,
someone loses sight of where the square border is, and maps part of your 
square,

someone is not using th TM, and is editing the area,
occasionally Tasks can overlap (very rarely), so someone using an older 
task is mapping the same area as the newer task.


There are probably more possibilities I hadn't even thought of - Tasking 
Manager is pretty good at making sure this doesn't happen, but then us 
pesky humans get involved!


Regards

Nick

Hi,

I was mapping late last night and had to quit because I was

that someone had traced over about 15 buildings that I had done the

see my work. Is there some delay in the server?

Re: [HOT] Double tracings

[Sander Deryckere]

There's no server delay (at least no delay that matters). But you do need
to upload your changes before you quit (or save, depending on your editor).

Without knowing your username, or the region where this happened, I can't
see what happened though.

Normally both houses would have a timestamp, so you can easily see if a
house was uploaded in the late evening, or in the morning, and who uploaded
it first.

It could also be that the other user was working on an offline, and
slightly outdated dataset. He should never do that. But mistakes can happen.

Sander

Hi latte,

I'm opening this up to the group as there are people there who have been 
in the area, and will have more idea than me - I think it's surface 
mining - sort of 'blood diamond' type thing, but I could very easily be 
wrong.


I think we're talking about the cluster of fuzzy white shapes to the 
right of the square
