Hi all,
my name is Michael and I support HOT as long as I've time. I'm quite
experience with satellite image interpretation (and crisis mapping,
professionally) and I startet to map for task 463 in the north west of
Guéckédou. While uploading I got a version conflict. This is probaly due
to parallel working with task 465 (higher resolution imagery) for the
same area. Just want to highlight this issue and I dont know if that
problem is already solved (or if that is a problem at all).
best regards,
Michael
