The upload=never idea is a very good one. Would be cool if that got implemented. -AndrewBuck signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ HOT mailing list HOT@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/hot

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 It would be good to put together some stats on these things, I don't think we know them. All are fairly easy to do as database queries on the task manager database though. Would be nice to have a page on the task manager that showed these summary

Re: [HOT] Mapping request for Harper and Pleebo, Liberia

The towns don't look that big so mapping them would be quite easy to do, however nether Bing nor MapBox has imagery of imagery of the area that is high enough resolution to map them. If you can find a source of imagery where the license allows us to use it for tracing then it shouldn't be

Re: [HOT] Hurricane Newton- Hitting today in Mexico (Baja California Sur and Sonora)

The linked task covers an enormous area, not only are the task squares themselves very big but the bounds of the entire task are quite large as well. It is not going to be possible to do meaningful map coverage over such a large area in the time in which the data would be relevant to first

Re: [HOT] Building Detection using Machine Learning

I agree with what the others have said so far... this probably won't be used to feed into the main database but could have other uses. One place where it could be good is in very sparsely populated areas like northern Africa, where there are huge areas of empty space with a few isolated

Re: [HOT] How bad is mapping from offset imagery?

For almost everything HOT does, and really OSM in general alignment is really not that big of a deal. Today, almost any imagery we get access to is aligned to within at most 10 meters (and lots of it is within 2 or 3 meters) of reality and in sparsely populated areas a few meters offset is not a
