Re: [HOT] Polio Outbreak and Ebola Preparedness - East Cameroon - New Task Announcement
I wonder if #777 is a little too ambitious? To view buildings you need to zoom in fairly closely, each tile covers an enormous area, 101 has already been mapped in detail so its not possible to download the tile from OSM. Many of the high resolution images have cloud cover. I accept the need but wonder about what is possible with the existing images and huge tile sizes, what quality of service can we hope to provide. It's certainly not possible to go over a single tile in detail within a single session and with multiple people working on the tiles its difficult to know if someone has already done the corner you're looking at or not.

In March 2014, WHO elevated the risk assessment of international spread of polio from Cameroon to very high, due to expanding circulation and influx of vulnerable refugee populations from Central African Republic (CAR). This risk assessment remains in place. Further undetected circulation in Cameroon cannot be ruled out. Moreover, the risk of virus spreading into CAR is considered to be particularly high given the large-scale population movements from CAR into Cameroon.

Hi John, a quick followup and thanks for bringing this up.

Re: [HOT] Polio Outbreak and Ebola Preparedness - East Cameroon - New Task Announcement
Hi Bourke Some more information to help you, we are not after detailed mapping at the moment, just basic transportation, roads, rivers, forests, etc. Also, some of this area is very sparsely populated and lot sf it is covered by Tree Canopy and there are a lot of Clouds covering the area as well. The area is quite large and to keep the tile count down to a manageable size, we chose this zoom level. Later, new tasks will be created with smaller squares for mapping in detail in specific areas, we will use the information captured in this Project to determine those mapping needs.

I've found picking out rivers and streams to be slightly problematical. If I zoom out then I can see a string of green which I assume is trees and vegetation along the bodies of water.
