Hi Eric, So there is lots of Bing imagery in a lot of different places of the world now. We can set-up a HOT task, but if we do I would ask that you adopt that task and become a shepard of it. What that means is when people ask for help you can be on the look out for it. There currently is more tasks up that people to digitize them, so I think helping assist newer people is going to be key. Having the information in English and French will also increase the amount of people able to assist.
Yes there are differences between some of the types of features. What are you interested in particularly? -Kate On Sun, Sep 23, 2012 at 12:43 AM, Eric SIBERT <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi every body, > > I'm new the HOT mailing list.
