I looked at the first image that Christoph referred to and it was immediately clear to me what he was talking about, even though I didn't find it so bad. The practice of "draw some blobby residential landuse around a cluster of buildings" isn't totally unheard of elsewhere; I did that myself a lot in the early Landsat days, especially when the individual buildings couldn't be seen precisely. What I did find strange, and Christoph is right in that this manual is not the only one using that style, is that the instruction were *very* focused - you could almost say, dumbed down. Even the smallest extra bits of info (hey, there's more than building=yes you know, and more than landuse=residential too) are missing from the written presentation - let's hope they were at least in the spoken part. Any regular OSMer who decided to armchair map an area would certainly at least add in a few other landuses or land cover, maybe a well or other water source... it would be a waste for someone to study the imagery and then *only* trace the buildings. I hope that the document Christoph pointed to is only a small part of the briefing that the participating volunteers have received.
