[HOT] Buildings in DR Congo

[Pierre Béland]

Hi John, 

Thanks to report these errors.
I participate to the Coordination with Claire Halleux and OSM-DRC for this Ebola outbreak. We have noticed yesterday morning that a few tasking jobs were created and massive mapping done on friday. 

The task jobs 4696, 4697 and 4708 were created with no prior discussion on any list and no contact of the Coordination team. As you mention, they overlap. They also overlap with previous Ebola Outbreak jobs created by the OSM-DRC.
No validation was done while this activity was going on. Yesterday morning, I contacted the Job's creator via his OSM account and we wait for an answer. Meanwhile, I have archived the tasks with a note in the title. 

Looking at tasks created, we can see that they were created by a  by an OSM participant to the Hotosm Tanzania Mini Grids Project and that contributors of this project did map these Ebola tasks.
Looking on Tweeter,  an Ebola Mapathon is reported (see https://twitter.com/RamaniHuria/status/1005052619109396482) and there
Neis Statistics show a high volume of data edited for these jobs. 
Job    contributors    Objects4696    74                76,0834697      4                    5414708    71              170,744

We have to remember that this OSM Response for the Ebola outbreak is to support adequately the humanitarian organizations working in very difficult conditions in the field. Villages are dispersed in a large area with often no access roads.  

We have to be carefull about the data produced by the Global OSM community.In this context, organizers of Mapathons, should take the responsabily to communicate with the Coordination Team and assure to produce data of quality.
 It is important that the organizers of the mapathon come, discuss and propose ways to validate, correct these errors.

regard
 
Pierre

 I'm seeing a fair number of duplicates.
#hotosm-project-4696and 

#hotosm-project-4708
appear to overlap.  I'm unable to reach either on the tasking manager.
Cheerio John
