This shows misunderstanding about how we can collectively, the OSM community and the international organizations deployed in the field, build a coherent map.</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1425613293651_87945" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1425613293651_88009" dir="ltr">Crowdsourcing the digitalization of aerial imagery or data imports, this is only one step in building an exhaustive map that can support humanitarian operations. To complete the map, the volunteers from abroad need more interaction with the field team GIS specialists. After mostly a year contributing for the Ebola activation and with all the GIS specialists in the field working for Ebola, we still see how it is difficult to go further then Crowdsource remote mapping and as a Global humanitarian community integrate the field data collection in a more coherent information system, to share with others.<br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1425613293651_87296" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1425613293651_87524" dir="ltr">Working on smaller projects like this one, this could be often an opportunity to progress and find ways to better interact.<br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1425613293651_87545"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1425613293651_88219" dir="ltr">regard<br></div> <br><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1425613293651_83453" class="signature"><span style="font-style:italic;color:rgb(0, 0, 191);font-weight:bold;"><font face="garamond, new york, times, serif">Pierre </font><br></span></div><br> <div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1425613293651_83457" style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> <div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1425613293651_83456" style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> <div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1425613293651_83455" dir="ltr"> <hr id="yui_3_16_0_1_1425613293651_83454" size="1"> <font id="yui_3_16_0_1_1425613293651_83470" size="2" face="Arial"> <b><span style="font-weight:bold;">De :</span></b> Pete Masters <pedrito1414@googlemail.com><br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">À :</span></b> "hot@openstreetmap.org" <hot@openstreetmap.org> <br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Envoyé le :</span></b> Vendredi 6 mars 2015 10h43<br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Objet :</span></b> [HOT] Mayendit task<br> </font> </div> <div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1425613293651_83458" class="y_msg_container"><br><div id="yiv5061091064"><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1425613293651_83459" dir="ltr">Hi all, I planned to write an email this afternoon to ask for your help with the Mayendit task (<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/923">http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/923</a>).
