blockquote, div.yahoo_quoted { margin-left: 0 !important; border-left:1px

!important; } It would be possible to run an osmlint analysis to identify
square forests, to get an idea of the extent of the problem. then set up a task
for fixing.

I certainly have noticed this. It drives me nuts to be honest.
I remember during the Nepal response mapping I did nothing but fixing up ugly
square bits of forest. I think a few other people joined in with this too,
because these days I can see we've mostly eliminated them across that massive
area.
I don't know what the solution is really. I think the statutory instructions
should be *Do not add square bits of forest*... but not sure if everyone would
agree, and I guess people will do it anyway. Anyone have other ideas?
In the case you mentioned we have an old archived TM project at
http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/816 . which did actually ask for forest data:
"Also of interest are "gallery forests" (forests that form corridors along
rivers or wetlands and project into landscapes that are otherwise only sparsely
treed), as these are prime tsetse fly habitat (natural=wood)."
Particularly fiddly details to map, so it would take a lot of effort to finish
it off and eliminate the chequerboard effect there. Seems messy that it's just
left like that though.

Yes, the typical Tasking Manager projects (with squares vs. arbitrary task
size) are not really good for doing large natural/landuse features like forest.
Not sure what project(s) that is and if it's asking for that, more likely and I
often see mappers adding features that are not requested in the project. It can
make a tough time stitching all those forest bits together although in this
case it doesn't look too bad, yet.

Hi,
have you noticed how the use of the Task Manager sometimes produces nice
patterns like here: http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=9/5.5244/25.1862 ?
You can see that at least some users are very diciplined in staying inside the
box :-)
