[HOT] Ecuador - More Projects?

[Blake Girardot HOT/OSM]

Hi Suzan,

We created some "model instructions" the idea being they would be a
good super set and people could copy/paste them and delete or change
what applied to their project. If you view the source on the below
wikipage, it is already in Tasking Manager mark up format, so easy
cut/paste.

They might be a good starting place and if they got translated to
spanish we can save that for next time too.

That was always the goal, get a good model set of text and then
translate it so new projects would have an option to come with model
instructions in all the languages when a new project was created. Just
delete what doesn't apply, and customize as needed.

People are joining buildings, drawing Residential Areas around groups of buildings inside of the city, and I can understand how they misread the instructions because of the way they are written. So we don’t have a lot of wasted time and energy, maybe someone could rewrite them so they are much more clear?
