[HOT] Re : RDC-Congo Pre-Activation : Lac Kivu

[Pierre Béland]

Hi Michael,

This is Ohr POI's who made me spot rgc.cd site. A person in Kinshasa related to this site told me that some of the data is 6-7 years old but in general of good quality.

Talking of wiki, I created the following wiki page for this activation : http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/RD_Congo_Kivu

We are still in Pre-Activation but discussions are ungoing  with UN agencies and 
humanitarian NGO's to re-evaluate the situation and obtain Imagery through the US Dept of State.

 
Pierre

I don't know if you have already seen this list which could serve as a basis for further work with the datasets. Also I don't know if the data currently available on www.rgc.cd has been updated or is still the same. The site went through a number of modifications over time and I think not all of the datasets listed in the wiki page are currently available on the website. But I have copies of the old datasets available.
