[HOT] NB: Organised Editing Guidelines | Re: Final Request: Volunteers Needed for Global Mapathons!

[Pierre Béland]

Shoud I insist, we also need a new trend where such projects take responsability to produce quality data.  Badly, too often, this is not what we observe.  For the Ebola response in North Kivu, the coordinators, we had to restart the mapping of Butembo in december since the data produced by newbies was so imprecise, so incomplete.
Adequate training material and mapathon procedures need to be developped for Live data monitoring, interaction with newbies, and correct immediately quality problems.

 The OSM community & Foundation has recently adopted the Organised
Editing Guidelines, to guide events like this. The community wants to
help you make this a successful mapathon.

In emails like this, and in accordance with the OEG, you should link to
the wiki page(s) describing your mapathon.
