Hello Mark
welcome to this community. Feel free to select a task and complete is the best
you can. If you want somebody to validate, once your task is completed, copy
the url of your Task Manager task and write an email asking somebody to
validate your task. This way you will have some support from an other mapper to
progress. For Lubumbashi, we also organize discussions on Mumble. This way, you
will see how we exchange between the remote mappers and the people in the field
finding solutions to the mapping problems in often challenging environments
(electricity, internet communication, etc).
If you have any questions, you can come back to this list. We also have more
interactive communications via either the HOT irc or the Mumble. This way, you
can interact with contributors. It is more lively and motivating.

Objet : Re: [HOT] Mapping Lubumbashi, DRC
Hello everyone,
I am very new here and would like to practice so I can help your mapping effort
(once I am vetted as 'safe' :)
What is the best sandbox for me to play in?
I thought I would take one square on the task like Avenue de Koni near Hospital
and then compare it to the actual work you guys do.
Can you guide me on the best first step?
I installed and tested Mumble, read Beginner's Guide, installed JOSM and tested
creating a road.
Was not able to get up for your mumble today (4am my time) but will try next
one.
Thank you for your help and efforts.
