Hi Kretzer, I mapped this task and tried to put all the residential areas. When the buildings are too much spread, I considered them as isolated buildings: http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/907#task/36 I can add the link in the TM Job instructions if you feel it is helpful for the other mappers.
I take the opportunity to thank you for your great contribution on this project!
