Hi everybody,

I want to propose minimum requirements to consider an area mapped in
Mapazonia. Some contributors are mapping native forest, like in here:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=14/-14.6257/-54.2441

It looks great on the map. At first I tought it would be better to map only
rivers and leave landuse to a second phase. But why not map native forest
right now? It is information as much as valuable as rivers', if not more.
So my propose to consider a area mapped is:

- all waterways mapped (river middle lines);
- all riverbanks mapped (not for thinner streams);
- all native forest mapped (but not deforestated areas as they are harder
to classify);
- all rural roads (using highway=track?);

What do you think?

Abraços,
Vitor
