It would be good to list in the wiki page the various particularities.
In the mountains, agriculture is often in terrasses, and the villages and
houses spread all over the place. Often, there are only foot paths between the
villages.
There are often foot suspension bridges like these two areas

Hi,

the work soon. There are issues with internet and electricity.

Hello,
Regarding the mapping of the roads North of Katmandou (Task #994), could
you extend the area to be checked further to the North (add 1 or 2 rows)?
There are trekkers waiting for rescue in Timure, which is between the
selected area and the Chinese border. So it would be helpful to include

Chris, I was revising the area and did identify the areas to mapped. The areas

trace villages and houses.

I’m hearing from old Red Cross friends that many places outside Kathmandu are
also affected. I think we should worry about the city of Pokhara too, it’s a
major city basically equidistant from the earthquake.

Looking at the Ebola activation, people trace every path, sometimes a few

The epicenter is in Lamjung and the closest major residential area is
Besisahar. I think other places Kathmandu, Pokhara and Bharatpur already
have decent maps but work needs to be done for Besisahar Lamjung.

Hi everyone,
In addition to the tasking manager projects, we are coordinating some
very specific and important infrastructure mapping via the HOT mumble
voice server.
If you want to learn more about detailed mapping that goes on in the
early hours after an emergency like this, joining us
hotosm.org home page aleady has an RSS2 feed
(http://hotosm.org/feed/rss2 ) which is cool.
I'd like to geolocate the news.
Would'nt it be nice to extend this with GeoRSS?
