Srihari,
Thanks a lot. I just successfully procrastinated through a morning
searching for Indian Railway station codes.
I tried doing Challenges 3,4 but MapRoulette keeps telling me that the
areas are too large to download the data. How do I get around that?

I have set up these challenges as of today:
[1] - Railway Station codes
[2] - Wiki tags for railway stations
[3] - Wiki tags for cities and towns
[4] - Wiki tags for districts

@Naveen I hope all the NHs are already traced and mapped [and updated to
the new numbering]? I'll check if Overpass QL supports regex tomorrow
and set up the challenges. I might need your help.

Regarding tracing roads and building in small towns and villages, I
noticed that more 50% of the villages were not even mapped (at least in
Andhra/Telangana, I didn't look at other states). I think this procedure
might be good:
[a] - Place `node`s with place=village tags for untagged villages. We
don't know all the names, so we might want to leave the name for now.
[b] - Setup challenges to trace roads; and buildings
[c] - Work to get data about the villages (starting with their names
themselves)
I can start [a] with Andhra Pradesh and Telangana
district-wise-alphabetically. If you are open to this idea, let me know
and your thoughts.

Here are the links for the Challenges [1,2,3,4]:
[1] - Railway Station codes - http://maproulette.org/map/2403

[2] - Wiki for Railway Stations - http://maproulette.org/map/2404
[3] - Wiki for cities and towns - http://maproulette.org/map/2405
[4] - Wiki for districts - http://maproulette.org/map/2406
cc Arun. Need your help spreading the word :)

I am in touch with Martijn of MapRoulette. He said he would feature our
challenges in the upcoming newsletter. I think the challenges above are
pretty easy and useful for getting people from other communities
interested in OSM, as Arun said.
But tracing untraced villages would be good for featuring in his
newsletter. That might bring attention. What do you think?

One more task
- Add wikidata tags for Indian Highways, it has been add for about
100 primary highways.

About 200 may be remaining, finding QID is easier since it is in
one place :)

Challenge 3 and 4 could be quite interesting to get other
communities interested in OSM.
For Wikidata matching, we can share the challenge with the
Wikimedia India chapter. Adding these tags also help make maps
on Wikipedia. See Naveens'
diary http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/naveenpf/diary/40515
For any railway mapping we can spread the word on IRFCA, which
would get the railfans really excited.
Srihari, if you can make the challenges, I could help spread the
word. We could also do mapping sprints to map them together with
others to knock it off.
