[HOT] HOT activation in Mali

[Pierre Béland]

Bonjour Fred


We surely can take care of roads more systematically. Me must therefore save often to avoid conflicts with other mappers.


In a recent mail to the list, Iproposed that the experienced mappers look at the road network. Validating / tracing the road network is a priority to the humanitarian organizations to organize the logistic of distribution of goods and services. 


I think that we should first give priority to the major roads while other contributors are working on micro-tasks were they can take care of local roads. I tested this yesterday. Going through a road, I correct if necessary. Also  if I see a populated place, I simply trace a polygon with the tag landuse=residential.


I added the road network table in the wiki page for Mali. I am adding presently a list of National Road segments. For each segment, the task is to validate and retrace if necessary. This way, each task should not be to long. This should also assure that the road network is validated systematically.  


To assure the coordination between contributors, each of us should put his name in the table beside the road segment he is selecting for validation.
