Probably wait.

For now, we could use some help with mapping Osh and Bazar-Korgan in
Kyrgyzstan.

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Kyrgyzstan

I have done some mapping for Bazar-Korgan... most of the roads are there,
but we can map landuse, buildings, etc.   As much detail from imagery would
help people who later map on-the-ground there.

Also (not all flood-affected areas), but some areas of Pakistan do have good
Yahoo imagery (e.g. Karachi) and need work.

What should be added to these pages before calling for wider participation?

Key thing obviously is obtaining imagery and data that we can use.  The wiki
page indicates some effort is underway to obtain imagery.

Not sure what to add to the pages now.
