We recently published <a href="http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/1914">http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/1914</a> as we’re nearly complete with 1913. Validators a special thanks for what is quite a difficult clean-up in some parts, the density of buildings should be less in these next couple areas. Remember to use Mapbox as it’s more recent and is better aligned with GPS data from the area; if you’re using the remote link from the Tasking Manager it should load by default in iD and JOSM.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Stay tuned to the wiki for more details and information: <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/2016_Sri_Lanka_Floods#Mapping_Priority">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/2016_Sri_Lanka_Floods#Mapping_Priority</a> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Happy Mapping!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>=Russ<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Russell Deffner<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="mailto:Russell.Deffner@hotosm.org">Russell.Deffner@hotosm.org</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="http://hotosm.org/">http://hotosm.org</a><u><span style='color:blue'><o:p></o:p></span></u></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
