Hi Luca,


Thanks for your contribution.I will let other contributors look at your contributions and provide you some tips if necessary. 


Sorry for the fact we did not come back earlier to give instructions to contributors about this Activation.  We had preliminary discussions with Red Cross and CartONG about areas to 
map. The first priority is for the Kailahun District which is closed to 
Geckedou.
We look 
presently for new imagery both for areas without Bing high-res imagery 
and where the objects on the ground are obscured by clouds.

Kailahun District http://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/3230901

In the new Task 568, you will see a U shape polygon with Daru town at the 
bottom. Please start by mapping from Daru, and progress from there. In 
cloudy areas, we ask you to map what you can see through the clouds. We 
will revise the mapping when the new imagery is available.
 
See http://tasks.hotosm.org/job/568

As the mapping progress, I also invite experienced mappers to revise the classification of roads and validate contributions.

Thanks again for your contribution.
 
Pierre

Dear all,
I'm a newcomer and would like to volunteer as a contributor. I provided some inputs to the Serbia Floods, so I got some understanding of how the Tasking Manager works.

I've read the recent emails about the re-activation of the Ebola call, but I must admit that without tasking manager it is quite confusing and difficult to provide meaningful contributions. I tried to do something in the northern area of Guinea, following the email from Ralf Stephan mentioning the cases in the Boffa prefecture. But without any guidance and in the absence of any feedback, it becomes quite frustrating, since I have no clue whether what I am doing has any usefulness or any meaning.

May I ask you to start the tasking manager for the Ebola reactivation call?

If this is not possible, maybe you could provide a clear list of instructions for newcomers, so we may provide focused and meaningful contributions?

Luca
