Hi list:
I contact you to about the first of a series of imports that UN Mappers
[1] are preparing at UNGSC [2] in Brindisi as part of the Unite Maps
Initiative [3].
This import consists of around 108,000 km of waterways (rivers, streams,
canals, etc.) in the southern part of Somalia coming from the
geodatabase of the UN Support Office in Somalia (UNSOS) [4], that would
vastly improve the hydrographic coverage of the map of Somalia.
You can check the import wiki here:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Somalia/Somalia_Imports/Somalia_UNSOS_waterways_import
A hands-on wiki showing the detailed import workflow is has been
produced:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Somalia/Somalia_Imports/Somalia_UNSOS_waterways_import/Workflow
As you can see, it is intended to be a crowdsourced import using an OSM
Tasking Manager, where experienced users will be welcome to the mapping
effort and to the validation of the import process.
Any comments/questions/issues/etc will be most welcome!
Cheers,
Rafael.
