Dear Hrvoje, Thank you very much for having added Mali, Chad and Burundi to the list of countries to download in OSMAND. Would it be possible to add a few African countries again?
- Sudan, where Khartoum is currently hit by large floods ( http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/2013_Sudan_floods) - Central African Republic where the situation, if not broadcasted is becoming totally dramatic. We have a request from MSF Spain (cced) that would make a great use of it in the field. The crisis in Central African Republic is not mediatised at all, but the population is facing some real issues, including hunger now (see this article<http://www.lemonde.fr/afrique/article/2013/07/09/la-penurie-alimentaire-menace-la-centrafrique_3445128_3212.html>from Le Monde that you can easily read with an online translation) - Togo, where we have an ongoing field mission, as part of the EOF project <http://hot.openstreetmap.org/projects/espace_osm_francophone_0> - Cameroon, where a very dynamic community is working - Malawi, where the mapping possibilities could rise soon Beyond this, it would be great if all the African countries could be added in the future. If ever we can help eg by providing the boundaries in any format, please just ask.
