[HOT] "connecting" buildings

[Mike Thompson]

I think I found my answer, it was in the instructions for a different
project (http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/1537):

"Many buildings are very close, but do not actually touch each other, try
to map them close to each other without letting them connect or share nodes
with each other, roads or residential area outlines."

I had the wrong project, but should the above guidance to almost all
projects?
