John, I found two areas with one or two buildings that were not mapped. For
the rest, as Blake said, these seem to be just some artifact.
But we should understand what are the objectives of such mapping. The
international organizations are helping to rebuild the health system and assure
better sanitation conditions. With all the health ressources allocated to the
Ebola outbreak, a lot of other sickness were not adressed.
The objective of the mapping is to help MSF planning their visit in the area,
to assure that basic preventions are maintained and support their basic
sanitation needs. Villages / hamlets and roads connecting to these settlements
are the priority of the mapping. If we miss some more isolated housings, I dont
think that this is really a problem. The same with all the paths in the farms.

Hi John,
I don't see any unmapped buildings. There was one hut that I mapped.
I suspect all those bare spots in the fields are just some artifact of
how they are farmed, it didn't look to me like there were buildings in
there.
I tend to agree there are probably paths all along those fields.
Someone with more specific knowledge of farming in coastal water areas
like that can enlighten us I am sure.
