[HOT] Let us finish the old featured job in the Tasking Manager!

[Severin Menard]

Hi all,

We have a few jobs stuck in the Tasking Manager featured jobs lis
<http://tasks.hotosm.org/>t, for quite a long time. Some were actually
achieved even if their completion rate was not 100% and have been
unfeatured. I let the people in contact with the Bosnian OSM community to
state about the job on top of the list.
Remain a few that wold deserve to be achieved. From up to down:

*Tharparkar Drought in Sindh, Pakistan (Glide: DR-2014-000035-PAK)*

This job is going forward slowly but surely thanks to Mark and other
contributors.
This is clearly one silent crisis with very few media coverage and actually
a low humanitarian response, as mentioned last month
<http://www.unocha.org/top-stories/all-stories/pakistan-tackling-nutrition-crisis-southern-sindh>
by OCHA. The authorities <http://pdma.gos.pk/new/> response is apparently
criticized
<http://reliefweb.int/report/pakistan/un-blames-health-nutrition-issues-tharparkar-deaths>.
One active local organization seems to be Jaggarta
<http://www.jaggarta.org/> (see their report
<http://reliefweb.int/report/pakistan/tharparkar-drought-2014>), we could
approach them. Also, recently Australia gave funds to WFP
<http://reliefweb.int/report/pakistan/australia-donates-27-million-wfp-help-build-resilience-sindh>
that
is a stakeholder that used to use OSM and we can contact to fit their needs
(if needed, I can introduce you, Mark)

*South Sudan, Nimule and Juba-Shambe areas*

The political situation my be calmer but the rainy season worsened the food
insecurity. This job can be finished quickly and then we can map Juba, the
capital city, with a recent imagery provided by HIU, as soon as we will
have inform the offsets with the offset db, following the experience made a
few months ago in Malakal with GISCorps (getting back on this soon).

*Goma, DRC*

Goma is important to be mapped for preparedness regarding the instable
situation in this region. Here a slow but impressive  work led by Andrew is
ongoing and not far to be achieved.

*Central African Republic, Kembé*

Still a major political crisis, we continue our systematic mapping of the
country, prioritizing the places with humanitarian actions or concerns.
Kembé is actually a old job that I featured again as the MapBox imagery
allows to complete the cloudy areas on Bing. But seems being on the bottom
of the list is not a good place for a job to be finished. :)


Sincerely,

Severin
