Dear Enock,<br>
<br>
Thank you for sharing your concerns, very much appreciated. <br>
<br>
These issues raised were also noticed during the OSM
Ghana/YouthMappers February Mapathon challenge and I am working
to address it as YouthMappers as part of the OpenStreetMap
community stands to ensure high quality edits into OpenStreetMap
from her members.<br>
<br>
I have however been in conversation with Mawutor of OSM Ghana,
to table a discussion and training session on good practices,
soon with the chapters during a suitable time to address these
pertinent issues raised.<br>
<br>
I also do hope once a date is agreed on, you would be available
to share your skills with us.<br>
<br>
I look forward to contacting you soon, and thank you once again.<br>
<br>
Thank you.

<p>Hi,</p>
<p>It is great and nice to see OpenStreetMap community
in Ghana growing over the years, especially among
students thanks to the YouthMappers associations.</p>
<p>We all make mistakes and OSM itself is very forgiving
in most cases but some of these mistakes I believe can
and should be avoided.</p>
<p>The issue is that only few people are doing the
*dirty* job of cleaning and fixing things; it takes
time.</p>
<p>I am not aware of any data source in country that can
be compared to what we have in OSM (please share),
thanks to so many hardworking and dedicated volunteers
over the years.</p>
<p>Having been around OSM in Ghana for sometime, some of
us have seen local/remote issues from both individuals
and corporate *organised mapping activities* that we
believe should not happen.</p>
<p>In this mail, I echo briefly those from some
YouthMappers mapping activities, over the years myself
and other volunteers have tried to fix/clean issues
from YouthMappers organised activities and still
cleaning, also drawing attention of individual mappers
and association leaders on Good practices[1], use of
real changeset comments that are not only ###hashtags
that does not describe which change have been made,
knowing well that time spent complaining could be used
to fix/help mappers responsible instead but not many
have resulted in much change.<br>
</p>
<p>In order for us to have the map, mappers, data and
community we desire to make a better OpenStreetMap in
Ghana, we all need to treat this only OSM with much
care whilst learning from each other too. There are
some recent questionable contributions around[2] and
others that have motivated this mail (Please don't try
to delete them<i> </i>now<i>, </i>these recent ones
might lead to more issues)<br>
</p>
<p>PS: Confidence in cc, as the YouthMappers regional
ambassador in Ghana[1], I humbly request you can
communicate this better to all YouthMappers
associations and that we all should follow good
practices.<br>
