I have no objections, all sounds good. Will respond with more detail after noon.

What this would require is deleting the current tasks, and adding new ones. If there are no strong objections to this, will do this over the course of the day. * Mikel Maron * +14152835207 @mikel s:mikelmaron ________________________________ From: Michael Krämer <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, August 16, 2012 10:35 AM Subject: Re: [HOT] Northern Uganda Tracing Exercise / Sprint Just as I have been about to give some feedback, the two mails from Sam and Tim cam in. So I'm not the only one going through this. But first of all a huge thanks for the tracing guide. This is something I really appreciate as it helps a lot to come to some consistent tagging. On the other hand I also found the tasks rather large. I had one assigned by tasking manager which first looked like an easiy one: Mostly open spaces, only a few paths and some buildings. But after looking more closely I noticed that there were many huts, which take quite some time to trace. After I while I started using the following method in JOSM to trace the huts: - select a finished hut and copy the tags with ctrl-c - press a and draw a line across the hut - press shift-o to create the circle - press ctrl-shift-v to past tags Although this is rather fast, it still feels somewhat arduous looking at the number of huts. Doing buildings with the building_tools plugin is much faster. Unfortunatley I'm not familiar with Java, otherwise I would probably rather try to create a corresponding plugin myself. So I also decided to unlock my task again. Afterwards I noticed that the changset contained 169 ways - most of the new. I didn't even start to trace the landuse save even trees. So I also think the squares might be too large, I guess a quarter of the current size would give more manageable squares.
