Hi all:
I've had a look to the Gulu/Lira guide and have some remarks:
1) For Non-driveable (too narrow / too rough) dirty roads, I think it's
more correct highway=path, instead of highway=footway. A footway is a
dedicated way for pedestrians, while path allows bicycles and other
means, unless further tagged otherwise.
2) I would prefer landuse=retail for a wide market area instead of
amenity=marketplace.
3) I think we would have to make different guides for different areas,
because each area has its own peculiarities.
Rafael.

Thanks Kate. I agree that we should think of training more people. A
Visual Guide of instructions like the one that was done for Gulu and
Lira would also help to instruct about specifics of Activations. This
again would have to be translated.

Hi Rafael and Pierre B,
I created Feature Requests for both translation of Job Information and
the Tasking Manager interface in github.
https://github.com/hotosm/osm-tasking-manager/issues/118
https://github.com/hotosm/osm-tasking-manager/issues/117
I think there are plenty of people that would help translate. The
issue is more having more people help contribute code. As you can see
from the issues list in Github there are many different types of
requests: https://github.com/hotosm/osm-tasking-manager
Best,
-Kate
