Hi Mike,
It looks like it would be more of an import, once it was ready -- not
necessarily complete, but with tags somewhat standardized, uniform, and
useful. I'm more than happy to submit it to the import list if that is the
best way to get it reviewed/validated and added so others will have the
Thanks Laura for your comments
you dont want you all to go home. This is true that such response brings in a
lot of new contributor, some effervescence, discussions. At the same time, this
is how the crowdsourcing community is progressing. Some volunteers see
chalenges out of our discussion and

HI Nama and John, while it is not satellite imagery, I've been following
the #nepalphotoproject. This collective seems to be documenting many

be identified then verified with the imagery?
Thanks for all that you are doing
OK, thanks Kevin. So someone not paying attention to this level of
detail might not actually know if they're using a Bing or DG
image? However, the word is to use Bing as the positional
standard. This sounds like a potential procedural problem. Then in
JOSM, if the layer list says Bing,

Thanks, Cheers .

makes sense to tag them as a residential area so that these areas are
not missed by the relief agencies. More detailed explanations of how

I think I'm moderately experienced in mapping. In West Africa I'm very

like but paths, streams etc I'm not so comfortable with, there is a lot of

Sorry for not answering before, but didn't have internet for the last
