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
