Andrew, I was planning on doing what might be needed for the activation. In seeing these posts, I thought perhaps the activation needed some supplementary training items. I really defer to activation leads. (This can, of course become a new email chain.)
Here are some ideas that I came up with for HOT Digital Saturday (happy to cowork): 1. Create some supplementary training materials - even a prime list of key tags like huts, mines building on https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Highway_Tag_Africa tips. Again, only if you think it is a priority. This could be blogged or a shared gdoc. 2. Map the tiles in task manager (which are very important). 3. Update the wiki page with HOT activation milestones and any media https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/2014_West_Africa_Ebola_Response Thanks so much heather Heather Leson [email protected] Twitter: HeatherLeson Blog: textontechs.com On Thu, Sep 11, 2014 at 8:01 PM, Andrew Buck <[email protected]> wrote: > What are you planning for sat morning?
