In the context of Activations in particular, it is important to make an
effort to classify the roads the best we can. This can make the
difference for humanitarian organizations that have to reach these
places.
From imagery, in general we can see if a road is large enough for a car to

That makes a lot of sense. I think there is a need for better meta data if
that is the term, if we are mapping from satellite or even Bing sometimes
it is not clear if something is a track, a footpath, or an unpaved road so
some guidance on how to tag might be useful. My personal preference woul
Hi John,
On some tasks, you do often see that a lot of the data is already
there, due to previous mapping. Sometimes all the job is recently done
but for some reason it hasn't been marked as "Done" - we suspect that
sometimes people aren't sure that they've really done everything in
the square. If
Hi John
Your experience could also be used for some import tasks.
For the West Ebola oubreak response, we have Import tasks that we reserve
to experienced mappers. They are private jobs. If you are interestd to
contribute to these tasks, simply answer me providing your OSM account. You

I had a look at a couple of those, drop roads in, even looking at those I
get the impression that most roads/tracks had been input or at least all
the ones I could see although the tiles were not marked completed.
I'll have a look at the tasks towards the end perhaps I can find a bit of
blank map
Thank you

Hi John,
Even though you are an experienced mapper perhaps start with a beginner
task. It is harder to identify feature of places you have never been though
really it is just a matter of practice.

I've picked up a task,

the basic road network is in already and many of the buildings are in as

Hi John,
Have you taken a look at the Tasking Managner? http://tasks.hotosm.org/
If you login there with your OSM account you'll see instructions for
various tasks. You can then pick one it checkout an area to work on.
Does that make sense?
Best,

Probably sounds dumb but I'll ask the question anyway. I'm a fairly
experienced OSM mapper mainly doing CANVEC imports and tagging details
working in JOSM so if I have have a bit of time available where is the most
appropriate place to start thinking in terms of CANVEC isn't available so

Those are buildings which are still being built and don't yet have
roofs on them; what you are seeing is the interior walls of the building.
We typically tag them as building=construction.
Some of these will by now just be normal buildings since the

Patrick,
I don't think there is any way to do this directly. There is the
thing Pierre recommended in the other email about showing the
changesets but that doesn't get you the actual data itself though.
What you could do is something like a two step
