A few suggestions:
- Help could be welcome to continue cleaning up the Haiti Health
Facilities (HHF) list. As described on
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Haiti/Status/Hospitals
a master list is available on
http://sites.google.com/a/netspective.org/haiti-health-facilities/
Version 1 has been integrated into OSM (to the extent possible, due to
duplicates.)
Karl has prepared a .osm file containing version 2 (the last one
currently available, with tags modified as also described on
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Humanitarian_OSM_Tags/Humanitarian_Data_Model
and I think he is working on scripts to import this version 2. (Which
still contains many duplicates.)
If you are interested, I could forward to you work spreadsheets from
health specialists, which could help bringing HHF in OSM to the
equivalent of a version 2.5, while awaiting for version 3 of the master
list to be released.
While dedicated tagging (particularly with health_facility:type=*)
precisely follows the HHF master list categories, I suggest using, in a
ad-hoc fashion for Haiti, "amenity=hospital" for the HHF in general
(maybe temporarily), so that they show, with a red cross and at zoom
levels allowing a sufficiently large area to be seen at once, on the map
at www.openstreetmap.org that OSM outsiders are most likely to consult
first.
- An important request from the government of Haiti requesting an IDP
database was transmitted to the CrisisMappers mailing list. IDP camps
are available from various sources (OCHA, UNOSAT, JRC, Chinese Academy
of Sciences, OSM contributors, etc...) It would certainly not hurt to
have them reviewed, merged and integrated in OSM.
- Mapping the slums. See :
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Haiti/Tasks_and_Ideas#Currently_for_Haiti_-_.22Now.22
I think this could keep quite a few volunteers usefully busy for a while. :)
(and I still have other ideas, if needed.)
Best regards,
Jean-Guilhem

Thanks for checking in ... I'm not sure what's the most pressing need
right now .. can anyone suggest more tasks? Or are we reaching a
plateau for now?

*Subject:* [Talk-ht] Onboarding new mappers
I'm the point person at Crisis Camp Chicago for onboarding vols to
help with mapping Haiti (though have no mapping experience). I've
developed a 101 guide based on info I've sifted through on wiki pages.
For fun, I completed tutorials and attempted to practice so I could
field questions from vols. However, it is difficult for me to find
items that are not mapped. Seems like whatever I click on has been
mapped and tagged. What am I missing? Are people just responding
quickly to documented tasks and getting it done?
Tony
