Hi Nicolas,
Some pre-activation work can be done.
In the north of Mali, there is actually very little
information that has been mapped. I think that we can map locally
without creating to much conflict with the server when it will come
back.
In JOSM, we cannot import presently from
nhttp://api.openstreetmap.org/api server. But it is possible to use an
other server. I tested this morning, and I was able to import in JOSM
from http://api.openstreetmap.fr/api.
The Bing Imagery is not detailed enough for Mali. Should somebody start to look
for Imagery?
I already added boundaries for Regions and Bamako District.
I will also take care of importing populated place names.
We can browse a map of Mali at
http://pierzen.dev.openstreetmap.org/hot/openlayers/mali.php.
I includes OSM, Bing and Google Base Layers.
Pierre
