Hello everyone,

Over the last several days a huge effort has been put forth by the
remote mappers to map portions of the city of Lubumbashi.  The mapping
there was in support of a ground survey organized by Doctors Without
Borders (MSF) and using local volunteers to help do the actual surveying.

Over the past several days about 15 people have been out surveying the
areas we have been tracing.  They have scanned in some of their
fieldpapers results and sent them back to us to be entered into OSM as
survey data.  There are approximately 200 pages in total with about 5
to 10 street and POI names on each page.  Due to various factors the
scans are not suitable to be uploaded to the fieldpapers website in
the normal fashion but the data is still useable non the less.

I will put up a table listing each if the atlases that were filled
out.  What we need people to do is to mark an atlas as being worked on
by them, go through each scanned page and copy the information (street
names and POI data) into OSM as best you can.  If you are unable to
input any of the recorded data please leave a note about what page and
what data has not been entered so that the local mappers can go back
over and fill in the missing bits from the original papers.  The table
listing the PDF's to be processed will be at the address below (it
will take me some time to put it together so just monitor the page
over next hours and jump in anytime you want).

Thank you for all your help so far and for your continued help with
these scans.  This is a really unique opportunity for our organization
to get good ground level survey data so let us make the most of it and
try to learn what we can about how to improve this process in the future.
