And one more question : do you know how to use the humanitarian Basemap with 
ArcGIS ? Do you have a wms link ?
Many thanks,

Sylvie

Thanks Sylvie for this feedback from MSF. And thanks to CartONG who has assured 
the interaction with MSF on this. I am please to read that this has helped the 
humanitarian teams in such a difficult context.
The village names file will be of great help. I will discuss with you about 
this and assure we can update the OpenStreetMap
 database.  Pierre

Please kindly find feedback from the MSF GIS off. from the field.

To all OSM-Hot teams,First of all and once again, we would like to send a big 
THANK YOU to every single one of you. Your work is a gift to us all in the 
field. Building-scale mapping for such an area is a huge help for our outreach 
teams, and for many expats newly arrived and needing a briefing on how the 
outbreak is evolving. Finding remote localities and access to them is often a 
race against time as a few hours can make a serious difference, not only for 
patients, but also to arrive in time to prevent new contacts to happen and keep 
the outbreak from spreading further. Cross-checking between local knowledge and 
OSM maps allows us to work much fasterRegarding locality names, we were able to 
acquire through
 various field trip with GPS devices a confirmed database of localities 
covering the sub-prefectures of Gueckedou-Centre, Temessadou-Dibo, and 
Guedembou.Thought this might be a nice input for you guys, to come as support 
to your amazing work. This data can be freely shared as long as credited to 
MSF-CH. There might be still some minor confirmations/changes to make, 
especially in remote/inaccessible areas, but these places have been taken 
directly by GPS on the field, and confirmed with local inhabitants.Hope this 
helps. One more time: thanks!
JG
