Hi everybody
Jumpstart NGO has helped Palestinian students to map their territory and
has given a public license to their work.

So far, their work were published on a dedicated server
http://westbank.maps.jsintl.org/
Import West Bank was achieved on July 2, and the one about Gaza on
September 21 and 22

We find ourselves facing some problems,
1. The green line (border internationally recognized) on both versions
(on the dedicated server and after the import) has nodes and no way.

It should be recreated so that it replaces the current, much more
approximate.
2. Some administrative boundaries (governorates) have their nodes
duplicated.

The same problem arises on Gaza after the import:

3. A final concern arises over an area located in the south of Bethlehem
when the import of ways has not proceeded.

Talkat (http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/talkat), user Israel, Mikel
and the person who carried out the Jumpstart import
turn to us for help to better integrate this import in the OSM database.
all the best,
Esperanza.
