[HOT] Help mapping non-mapped areas of Tajikistan

Thu Aug 2 19:27:06 BST 2012

Dear all

just wanted to thank you deeply for your involvement in the mapping of
Khorog!

Since yesterday, 100% of the town has been mapped and roughly 53% has been
validated

*A few statistics*:

Number of announced contributors (in the tasking manager)

9

Number of tasks (one task is a 200x200 meters area to map)

253

Elapsed time to reach full coverage (100% of Khorog mapped)

less than 5 days

Number of buildings mapped

2976

Average amount of buildings mapped in one hour

25

Also, in case you doubted that your involvement was useful, please refer to
the feedback I have received today:

*From within Tajikistan*:

*"Thanks for the work, its really valuable I believe."*

*"Looks very good.Thanks for this !!"*

*"This is FANTASTIC!!"*

*"The Khorog map is great!! I like to see the many details in this map
which is very good resolution at the same time. I have been playing around
with this to see how one could use it for various purposes. Will hope to
stay in touch to see how this map will improve. Thanks for sharing."*

*"very useful! Thank you!"*

*"great work!"*

*"Stéphane, the map you guys made is just amazing! Thank u soo much!"*

*"Amazingly beautiful!"*

*"Very practical "*

*From abroad*:

*"Nice job ! :-)"*

*"That's fantastic "*

*"Tweet this to the Pres. He'll love it... :) "*
So I wanted to bring those praises back to you :-)

Thanks again and I will come back to the list next time we have a major
mapping project :-)

Stéphane
