[HOT] New to mapping

[Rafael Avila Coya]

Hi, Francesca:

Your concerns are very typical when beginning contributing to HOT.

As for the Gambaru/Fotokol job, buildings in towns of that area (and
most of the Sahel) are quite difficult to trace, as they are built very
packed.

I did a quick hackpad with some screenshots that may help you in
determining where a building finishes and starts the next:

Cheers, and have a nice weekend,

Rafael.
