<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi,<br>
<br>
First: Thanks for your quick and elaborate response.<br>
Contrary to what I wrote before, the road I meant didnt disappear,
it was downgraded to a path and the rest left as a secondary. But
this still explaines one of the problems with imports:<br>
<br>
You can do them automatically (using a separate account as it
falls under the mechanical edit policy
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mechanical_Edit_Policy">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mechanical_Edit_Policy</a> - at
least thats how I understood it), but what do you do with the
roads/rivers/places that are already there?<br>
Especially if, like in this case, the data to be imported is from
2009 (at leastthats what the source tag says) and the Bing
pictures are from 2003 (according to the bing aerial image
analyzer). Many helpers like myself have used those images to
trace various things and will continue to do so; so there could
be discrepancies.<br>
<br>
Can we limit this task to "well-seasoned mappers". Or do we have
enough people willing and able to get the job done using some kind
of private task manager not open to the general public?<br>
<br>
Whatever may happen, I am suer we can all agree that we should
take all the data, help and people to help we can get.<br>
<br>
Regards, <br>

<div>Hi,<br>
<br>
</div>
This import was started as part of the EUROSHA
project for the Central African Republic and
after the rebellion. The data being imported is
served with the task, a new feature for the
tasking manager that we developed while in
Cameroon. The data of the WRI can be served with
the task as a mapping aid. <br>
<br>
</div>
<div>This is for now, an experiment but is meant
to be executed I guess. I'm sure that Severin
Menard, the lead for HOT on this project, can
also tell you something more about this.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
As far as I know there is some confusion about
this task, a few of the blocking issues:<br>
<br>
</div>
- Do we need to use a seperate import account? (the
import list is not very responsive)<br>
</div>
- Is the WRI data suited for this? Maybe partly using
the data is something we can do.<br>
</div>
- This task is meant for well-seasoned mappers, is this
something we can expect?<br>
<br>
</div>
This is my view on this little project and it's a bit sad
to have all this data for a mostly completely unmapped and
from a humanitarian perspective very difficult country and
not use it. I think we should take every chance we get to
improve the map for the CAR.<br>
<br>
</div>
If you have some suggestions on this, your thoughts are very
very welcome on how to do this better.<br>

Hi all,<br>
<br>
Does anyone know if the WRI import already
started?<br>
There is a wiki page:<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import_CAR_WRI_Data"
target="_blank">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import_CAR_WRI_Data</a><br>
and a task:<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://tasks.hotosm.org/job/219"
target="_blank">http://tasks.hotosm.org/job/219</a>.<br>
Although the task says that its only a test,
someone started to import roads around N'Dele:<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=8.39936&lon=20.69708&zoom=15&layers=M"
target="_blank">http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=8.39936&lon=20.69708&zoom=15&layers=M</a><br>
The track there appears on my tiles as a
teriary road, but in the dataset there is
nothing left but a new track with access=no.
For me thats a strange combination, but the
wiki pages says so.<br>
>From tha satelite image, this road is
bigger than a track and comtinues further than
the import.<br>
<br>
I dont want to step on anyones toes, its just
that I am confused why some roads disappeared
and that I havent heard anything about this
import.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>
Theodin<br>
