Talking of videos are there any training videos about what HOT expects? The reason I ask is that although we break down to give tasks can we break it down even more. ie teach someone to do a simple task of map a building using high resolution satellite imagery, sounds dumb but map one in JOSM, q it to square it, tag it building=yes, select, <Crtl>c move the mouse to another <crtl>v, adjust the four corners, q again etc.
The concept is we can teach people to map buildings on You-tube, its simple and has value. Another would teach people how to recognise a road and to tag it or highway=path. We may need expertise to map things like water bodies, rivers, streams and forests but buildings and footpaths in Africa are probably 80% of what needs to be mapped and you don't need a degree in GIS to do this. Let's delegate what we can. Cheerio John On 20 October 2014 15:55, Kate Chapman <kate.chap...@hotosm.org> wrote: > Hi All, > > Is there a video you think best represents our work?
