Thanks for this discussion. I'm back online and now living in Doha, Qatar!
Mark, thanks again for setting up Linked in. I am a huge fan of the
potential of volunteer.linkedin.com. While it is not a tool for everyone,
I firmly believe that HOT as a global community can and should use it as an
Mapping for TM#898 Prefecture of Kambia, I see a lot of these housing. We have
to carefully look at the map to find isolated hamlets with sometimes less then
10 huts or houses. As Rod said, there can be a mix of houses and
millet granary.
What is important at this stage is to circle all these

Oops -- didn't mean to send that last one. Question about huts -- in West
Africa there are a lot of huts, sometimes just out in the forest with no
rectangular buildings or clearings nearby. Are these for storage?
Temporary housing?

2. Maybe reverse what we have now: No mail gets sent when something is
invalidated and mail gets sent when something is validated. I don't know
how many people come back to map if their task square gets invalidated
anyway, especially if it is weeks or months later so we might not be
gaining

Hi Daniel,
depends on what kind of hut you're talking about. Most of these are
permanent housing. Some (they tend to be smaller) are granaries.
Try googling images with west african hut and millet granary to make
yourself an idea.

My background is fifty years of playing with computers including very large
databases. I spent my first ten years in assembler when I'd add up all the
instruction times to optimise the code. When I see a hut being drawn as a
circle I think it terms of the amount of data storage needed compared
Hi John,
I'm willing to be corrected, but I think we're currently going with
building=yes for all shapes of building. Reading through that particular
project instructions, it doesn't look as if buildings need to be traced at
the moment, just residential boundaries. The problem comes when you find
Dumb question will these be found? What is the recommended way to map them?
I quite like the idea rather than drawing a building shape.

John,
Yes these objects will be found if a building tag is added. If you want to try
adding some, it can be done easily.
With JOSM, we can create easily a circle form. This can be used for a
reservoir, a roundabout, etc.
- You add two points not connected to each other representing the diameter
So it sounds like by validating we are giving some positive feedback and
makes it seem that the mapping efforts aren't for naught and ideally we
should be in a position to validate within a day or two of the mapping to
keep a bit of motivation up.
I have noticed that in the stats we say xyz has
My personal views is that statuses done/validated/invalidated should be
related to progress and quality of the current state of mapping.
We should not use that to give feedback or give implicitly a notation to
previous mappers.
Use comments (with @-mentions) for feedback.
A notation of mappers is
An example of this is #892 - Ebola Outbreak, Guinea, Kindia Prefecture,
Road network and settlements, task 77. Lots of the residential areas have
only these barely visible round things.

I strongly suspect they are huts that people live in.

I think it is important to remember that there are humans on either side of

There have been times when I added a few features and then validated, other
times I start adding and realize that quite a bit had been missed and then
