Hi Douglas,<div><br></div><div>I am working as an intern with HOT for pilot in Indonesia.<br><div><br></div><div>I agree with with Daniel, using Potlatch is not an option for us. But I believe we included a little introduction to Potlatch 2 and how to adding POI to the map. And in my opinion, using JOSM is better than Potlatch:</div>
<div>1. Works offline and you can save your work</div><div>2. Avoid mistakes by using validation tools</div><div>3. Plugins which makes your edit easier</div><div>4. Tagging presets (you can make your own preset and put it on JOSM)</div>
<div>5. You can translate JOSM into your own local language, we did translate half of it into Bahasa Indonesia </div><div>..and more features</div><div><br></div><div>But it you feel using Potlatch is more comfortable, well that is up to you =)</div>
<div>Anyway, I did check on those link, some of lines are overlapped, but buildings are good =)</div><div><br></div><div>And I agree with Daniel, you should create tasking manager because most of overlapped objects are caused by multiple edit (same area of interest at the same time). Or, simply, before you starting your mapping day:</div>
<div>1. Print the whole area that you want to be mapped by clicking Export tab on OSM site</div><div>2. Divide those area by drawing grids on the printed map. For example, if you have 4 surveyors then you might want to divide it into 4 grids)</div>
<div>3. Now each surveyor has a specific area to map, and when they put the data into OSM, it should be okay now. A minor edit would be needed to connect all the map =)</div><div><br></div><div>Good luck Douglas! :)</div>
<div><br></div><div>And for Daniel, we have introduction slides. Do you need it in English or Bahasa? I only have Bahasa version, ask Kate if you want English one :)</div><div><br></div><div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d">The links look good. I am working in Kupang, East Indonesia and
also training people (government, NGOs, students) how to use OSM and JOSM. Postlach
is for us not an option – internet access is not fast and stable enough. We
are working with the HOT training material as well (in Bahasa Indonesia). What
is missing so far are some slides for a introduction – do you have some
power points you want to share? I usually start the training with some of the
videos from <a href="http://geospatialrevolution.psu.edu/" target="_blank">http://geospatialrevolution.psu.edu/</a>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d">What could be interessting for you is the Tasking Manager
(probably you know it already) to avoid overlapping edits on your mapping days.
We have a task for Kupang (<a href="http://tasks.hotosm.org/job/5" target="_blank">http://tasks.hotosm.org/job/5</a>)
and its really impressiv to see how many different people are mapping
here even though its not a desaster area.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

started training some people about how to go about OSM, using the H.O.T

only one that was included in the manual.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="color:black">Otherwise
the manual is concise, we are even including potlatch 2 as one of the training
topics, among others and by the end of the training, we hope we would have well
skilled people who will be contributing to providing geographical data to the
open street world map.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

introduce mapping and the open street map to the participants, the features
mapped on a mapping day can take a while to be fully updated correctly as most

some more people who will have a better understanding of what OSM is all about.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
