Hi all, So fighting resume in the Eastern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) where the rebel forces of the M23 took the major town of Goma (BBC News Goma <http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-20405739>). I have no bandwidth right now to look more closely at this sudden onset political crisis with still strong political and humanitarian consequences and scan through reports to provide a better situation update, relief web is temporarily down for DRC...
The Bing Imagery over Goma looks good and shall allow to complete the current OSM map. Reports from media, and responders shall be accessible and provide us with other Areas Of Interest (AOIs). Baseline mapping (building, roads and landuses) can be of help for those responding or about to respond to this crisis. There is already a DRC page for CongoKinshasa (DRC) in the OSM wiki where a crisis page can be set up I created a job for DRC on the HOT Export tool based on the general JOSM preset : http://hot-export.geofabrik.de/jobs/1102 This can be hooked to this page.
