Re: [HOT] Volunteering
Saul, I affirm the advice given by Mark and Rafael. Don't be afraid to start mapping and contribute. I would also suggest going to a HOT tile that isn't complete but other editors have started on. That way you can see how other people have tagged features.

Re: [HOT] Volunteering
Hi, Saul: The most common activity to which you can contribute to HOT is mapping through the HOT Tasking Manager [1]. There are lots of jobs you can choose from. I would advise you to start with a job that you find easy, and follow carefully the instructions. If you need learning material, you might start with LearnOSM [2] or watching the Mapgive videos [3] (they use iD editor). Apart from this mailing list, we have an IRC channel [4] where you can seek help too. Cheers, Rafael.

Re: [HOT] Volunteering
Hi Saul, welcome to HOT As you know, our mission is all about mapping for Humanitarian responses and we have a large of activities where you can contribute. The best place to start is at http://LearnOsm.org to get you up to speed with OpenStreetMap, Tagging schemes, editors, etc We work primarily through a tasking manager http://tasks,hotosm..org. This allows you to get involved in a mapping activity of your choice. Simply put, the Task manager provides you the ability to choose a task and a small square of the task to map, and also supplies you with details on the Imagery, Licensing, Attributions needed and exactly what to map, often via a specific Wiki Page dedicated to the activity. You are welcome to ask specific questions about a Task on this list. If you are an IRC User, (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/IRC) there is a permanently open channel where a lot of experienced mappers lurk and they are always willing to answer questions. The actual channel is at irc://irc.oftc.net #hot irc://irc.oftc.net/hot We all started mapping the same way as you are, so we all understand that every question is a good one, so feel free to ask.
