[Talk-in] Use MapRoulette to improve OSM - India data

[Srihari Thalla]

I have completed identifying unmapped villages in Krishna. There are 1174
nodes and ways tagged with "place=village".

I have made a Challenge in MapRoulette to trace roads and connect these
villages with nearby highways. (We can trace houses later.)

I need help with tagging the roads. I made the instructions to tag
asphalt/good condition roads as "tertiary" and other non-asphalt roads as
"unclassified".
Since these roads connect villages with other major highways/town/other
villages, the tags tertiary/unclassified seemed optimal.

Identifying and tagging these unmapped villages took around 8 hours and
spread across a week!
At this rate, it might take several months for me to just tag Andhra
Pradesh and Telangana.

I would really need help from others speeding this up. If anyone's
interested, we can organise and work together.
