Hey everyone.  We are going to try to bring in the GNS place names of
villages for Nepal like we did in west Africa.  The first step in this
process is uploading a series of old topographic maps onto mapwarper,
rectifying them, and making them into a layer.

I will get the relevant maps uploaded, but I would appreciate it if a
few people who are familiar with mapwarper could hop on mumble so we
can collaborate on getting them rectified quickly.

Once they are rectified well and in a layer we will start working on
bringing in GNS nodes to fill in place names.  It also looks like the
topo maps have a lot of names that are not in GNS at all, so they will
be a useful resource in their own right.
