Hi Sander, It would be definitely good to have it... so let us do it collectively, as the rest of the voluntary work we do. Would be easy to feed a wiki page about it, it is just a matter of available time to do it. But it is not that easy as humanitarian stakeholders do not inform us every time they use OSM data. I discovered many times on reliefweb maps done with OSM data I did not know about before. Eg in CAR (see my last blogpost)
