This is great Kathleen! It would be great if you could sent us some pictures of your mapathon, so we can show to the mappers here that people in Germany are mapping together with them. Today we just sent our first volunteers to Kamrangirchar to do ground mapping, so keep on mapping! Please focus o

Hi Mark, The HOT Private Datastore is specifically for private data, so what data is available is up to the communities that have collected it. It is not really in use right now though. By default it does use hot: as the prefix in a JOSM preset to determine the data is uploaded, but this is a conf

As Blake just said, it is important to also control the quality. JOSM should be favored since there are various plugins like for buildings There is also a Validation process when you upload the data. Osmose Map and other Validation tools can also be part of the workflow to assure better quality.
