[HOT] DRC task promotion + Help with uploading pictures to OSM Wiki

[Manuel Claeys Bouuaert]

Hi HOT Mailing list.

We've launched a task <http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/2843> in the DRC
Okapi Wildlife Reserver, in the context of a Mapathon we successfully
organised more then a month ago. The task is focussing on mapping illegal
activities such as mining and logging in the park, which are putting a lot
of stress on the native inhabitants and fauna. It's currently at 50%
completion and I'd like to get it to 100% in the coming month.

Therefore, this email serves two purposes:

   1. Spread the word that this task exists, and would be very happy to be
   part of a future Mapathon. We can give some context and documentation!
   2. Ask for some technical *help with uploading images to the OSM wiki*,
   to a page
   <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Mclaeysb/HOT_Mapping_Tips> I'm
   writing for the purpose of helping new mappers or Mapathon organisers that
   don't have experience with features such as mines and logging in DRC.
   Uploading images from an 'edit' page is not working*, and I'm not seeing
   any upload options on in the left side bar, like some other users seem to.
   Is this a permission thing? Could I obtain the necessary permissions? Could
   someone else upload my images?

Who can help me?

Thanks!
Manuel, from Belgium :)

* I'm doing 'Edit > Insert > Media > Upload' but it says "You must be
logged in to upload files." I am logged in on the OSM wiki, so I don't
quite know what I'm doing wrong
