For those that are unemployed, paying 15 pounds once is much money, including in "rich" countries because of higher general prices for life with the low incomes (ven with social benefits). Also lot of people can't pay online with their debit card (and they have difficulties to spare that money

Most probably this is the "water bassin" of the Amazone river, which was tagged incorrectly with some "water=*" that causes problems in this rendering. Water bassins for rivers (which do not include only riverbeds and lakes/ponds, but also all surrounding lands whose drained waters on soil are

Could you avopid using this term "defecation", and instead promote the project for "sanitization". I think it's not useful to try mapping these areas without first making the efforts on sanitization areas and building a map of populated areas without proper/sufficient sanitization. Of course the

You should also not focus too much on the exact level of accuracy of shapes. What is important is to have relative size, correct placement, but minor architectural details which do not remove the possibility of attaching additional data and does not prevent refining it later ('wheen there's a new

I don't understand why the title speaks about an "obsession" when in fact it just defines the minimum goal expected fo manage emergencies; OSM is incremental can then continue building up on this base, including during emergencies to requalify and add precision where needed by the emergency teams.

I wonder if the choice (in domain names) of non standard prefix for continental areas before the country code really helps making the instances per country really accessible: "ca-ni.*" for example should just be "ni.*", or "as-lk.*" should just be "lk.*", there's no need to use a continental area

There's no mistery to cross a router, most apps use UPnP in their local app to configure and keep open a routable port on the NAT router. Other solutions have existed but now UPnP is almost uniersally supported by most routers and users don't have to know their IP. Instead they renew their

That's a uninformed and wrong reply ! The syntax you use is completely invalid, and this obviously does not work this way to reach people using routers (now almost everyone!) and not having a static IPv4 address (a vast majority of people in the world). In most cases you'll need a proxying

Re: [HOT] TM3 random task selection ignoring priority area

I think that "tasks within the priority area" are only selected by using a single arbitrary point within the task's area, and this point was... outside the priority area. So no task in the priority area could be found, and you were offered any other free task to do. 2017-11-14 20:25 GMT+01:00
