[HOT] MapLesotho Phase 2

[Katja Ulbert]

Lots of congrats from my side for achieving the basemap, and especially 
for the building of a community, smaller number of trained OSMers 
periodically joined by a larger group of mappers for special projects 
seems to be the way to go. Keep up the good work!
