[HOT] Mapping buildings with new mappers at a maperthon

[Martin Noblecourt]

Hi,

Agree with Blake this would probably be the thing that would save the 
most time among all the possible tools to develop.

We don't have tech volunteers that know well the ID system but fully 
support the initiative ;-)
