Hi,

The floods are still hitting Khartoum. Thanks for those who participated to
the http://tasks.hotosm.org/job/289 that is almost finished now.

The wikipage PierZen created has been updated and there are now 2 other
tasks:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/2013_Sudan_floods<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/2013_Sudan_floods#Mapping_Priorities>

As a first step, we start by mapping only the roads and streets and after
the buildings.

Sincerely,

Severin
