Hi,
this is Matthias from the german OSM community (aka user:!i!).
I was the one who started the first NOTLM party and asked Martjin, if
the US would be a good area for another global mapathon.This idea came
up, when I noticed how "empty" the US still is (or let's say how big the
country is ;)) even with the TIGER import and all of your hard work.
I'm absolutly ok with the idea of improving TIGER and add buildings and
all the details you can see on the high res BING imagery. Please keep in
mind, that we over in Europe *have no idea*, about what the problems of
the TIGER import is in detail. So a detailed short instruction as
"mission statement" would be great, and of course a map/list of places
where help is needed would be useful.
As I have no idea, about how many people will start contributing this
time, should we care about conflicts? (maybe using the HOT team server)
How about the date? Just a friday at end of November or after the X-mas
troubles in january?
bye,
Matthias
