Hi, There is a lot of people working on that. They have their own mailinglist (about 167 people) here http://www.pamoya.com/node/13275
Obviously, the mapping is best in areas where there is Bing imagery, but Mbale, Soroti, Bwindi are pretty nice already. We have been organising a few Mapping Days, in Muyenga and at the University in Mukono. We do plan to have more events. We are also actively pursuing several datasets that, when made public, would be a great addition to OSM. That is proving pretty hard! Any lobbying from other members when talking to anyone with data is highly appreciated. So, all in all, getting there. rgds, Reinier On Thursday 01 March 2012 18:19:13 Benjamin Tayehanpour wrote: > Great news!
