<p>Thanks for your reply, and thanks to Blake too!<br>
</p>
<p>maybe I am just not able to use a mailinglist correctly. No doubt
mapswipe is an interesting tool and is related to HOT. But in my
opinion only urgend topics should go into a mailinglist. <br>
</p>
<p>Don't get me wrong: During the Nepal quake there were 20-30 mails
a day for more than a week. I'm absolutely fine with that. That
was mostly important, interesting and urgend stuff.<br>
</p>
<p>Ignoring is a good thing until your phone or mailapplication on
the computer keeps telling you about new emails. Constantly.</p>
<p>@Blake: Maybe I will join the announcement list and just
subscribe to this list when getting involved in desastermapping..<br>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<div dir="ltr">Your message really surprises me. MapSwipe is an
app that was created by MSF, to help save HOT's mappers time, so
they can focus on mapping. I think that's an interesting
discussion thread. Not sure about the others, but the way to
read mailing lists is to look at the topics that interest you
and ignore the rest.

everyone,<br>
<br>
I am interested in information regarding HOT activations,
the talk about real HOT problems and some news regarding
HOT, so I joined this list about a year ago during the
earthquake in Nepal. Currently I found myself deleting
nearly 98% of the messages of this list even without reading
it.<br>
<br>
It's just crazy getting dozends of emails a day on topics
having nearly no intersection with HOT at all! e.g.
"Bounding box not in iD Editor anymore" or currently
"Mapswipe - whats happening with the data?". There are
boards, where, in my optinion, general discussions should
take place but not on a mailinglist. A mailinglist, thats
the place where really urgend stuff should be discussed.<br>
<br>
Is there a HOT mailinglist that just focuses on important
stuff?<br>
<br>
with annoyed greetings<br>
