[HOT] Suggestion to support Newbie development via Validated work

[Suzan Reed]

Pierre and all,

If it's important to ramp up work, a social media campaign (i.e. please 
repost), and an email blast to all those thousands if people who first 
contributed, or to the smaller percent that stuck around would bring in the 
needed people power. Point people to a landing page with concise 
information on what to map, buildings) and why. Most people have no idea 
the monsoon is coming and the urgency of the work.  I know people would be 
happy to help if they knew.

Having a long career in marketing communications this is the type of thing 
that often comes up needing quick response from leadership and marketing 
professionals. Usually done on a quick turn around without much fuss, these 
quick campaigns can be quite effective.

Please excuse errors. Typed on my phone.
