Hi Michael,
This is Ohr POI's who made me spot rgc.cd site. A person in Kinshasa related to
this site told me that some of the data is 6-7 years old but in general of good
quality.
Talking of wiki, I created the following wiki page for this activation :
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/RD_Congo_Kivu
We are still in Pre-Activation but discussions are ungoing with UN agencies
and
humanitarian NGO's to re-evaluate the situation and obtain Imagery through the
US Dept of State.
Pierre
