Hi Severin,
I can share all the originals ( I think/hope I still have them ).
That was my main mistake, the text on the images making the translation
difficult.
It was a process and you can see in later items the text came out of the
images and went into the caption to make translation easier.
That is also the style Nick has implemented in LearnOSM: Numbered arrows
for detail and clarity in the illustration, and then text explaining the
details of the illustration and they look great.
As to the videos: I also have a few of those, not silent unfortunately
:) But I have recently thought about doing short animated gif
illustrations and passed around the Training WG email list a few tools
that do that well.
Here is an example of tutorial with animated gifs that used something
like the tools I passed around to the Training WG.
This example is busy ... maybe a bit too crowded for all the activity on
the page, but gives a good idea of what someone can do with short
animations for tutorials. Laid out better like Mikel's example of
Bangladesh mapping and it could be very educational and low bandwidth.

Hi Blake,
This is a great tuto, would it be possible to share the original pics
for translations?
I have started making short screenvideos for some mapping processes. Are
they are mute, they do not require translation (but bandwith). But
obviously they cannot give a general overview as a before/after does.
Sincerely,
Severin

Hi John,
We have talked about making them more widely available and we do
include them in some of the W. Africa instructions or pass them out
to mappers individually, sometimes as part of validation feedback.
I have a short list of revisions is partly why I have not moved them
out from my personal page yet in the wiki and called them "done"
As to the huts: It can go either way, but it is my understanding we
usually try and map the building footprints as it provides just a
little bit more data, approximate size and can help when working
physically on ground for orienting yourself a little better than
just a point on a map.
But it is up to the project manager to determine what data they need
v. how fast it can be generated. In one circumstance just getting a
building count and structures represented on the map quickly could
be a lot more important than whatever else we gain by an actual
building footprint.
And sometimes the circumstances of mapping affecting things. If you
are working in the field on a smart phone collecting building
locations off line and entering data for each building, outlines
would be impossible.
As to drawing the huts quickly, you might already know these things
in JOSM, but just in case:
When you copy/paste, where you hold the cursor will be the center of
the pasted object. So hold your mouse pointer directly in the center
of the hut to paste.
Then with the newly pasted building selected, hold control-alt keys
down and you can resize the object you just pasted based on the
center of the pasted object. That lets you quickly get the pasted
hut the correct size.
Cheers,
Blake

<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Bgirardot/West_African_HOT_Mapping_Tips>
be added to the instructions of all HOT West African projects?
I wasn't aware of it before the post on Surface mines
characteristics
and it clarified a couple of things for me. It's certainly
useful when
validating to have a reference to point enthusiastic mappers to.
If possible could an image showing two or three small
settlements of say
three or four huts joined together with what I would normally
think of
as footpaths to show how these should be mapped and the connecting
highways tagged. I've noticed some variation between the
mappers when
validating.
Could we also have a guideline on huts? I've seen them mapped as a
single point and as a circle. In JOSM its very quick to copy
and paste
a hut but that does mean slight variations in size are not
mapped correctly.
The other issue would be isolated buildings, I tend to map the
building
rather than tag it landuse=residential again a guideline would
be useful.
Rather than overwhelm the mapper with the idea that everything
guidelined needs to be mapped I suggest somewhere it says
perhaps in the
instructions "For this project please map the roads and settlements
according to the guidelines here:
