[HOT] Anybody has time to handhold me through untangling a task?

[Vao Matua]

Henning,

Thanks for helping out on this.
I was quickly looking at the area in iD since the task was locked and the
untagged features show up as lines.
I saw that you had tagged the buildings.

The path/track/unclassified issues here in Africa continue to be a
challenge.

Thanks again, East Africa needs lots of help.
