[talk-ph] tracing individual rice paddies

[maning sambale]

Yes, truly awesome work by the Lubao MPDC staff especially Pepe.  Just
a bit of update from what I heard from Pepe and others.
They were able to use the map in the preparation for Glenda.  Right
now, they are asking each barangay captain to identify key features in
the map like (amenities, shops, name of rivers, sitios, etc) which
they now add in the map.

Tasking manager job is still not finished [0], and they appreciate
everybody's review especially with validating the task.  They are also
having difficulty tagging some features (same as this original
thread), I asked them to list them and send to this mailinglist so we
can help them identify or create (if necessary) the best tag.

Sorry for the digression, so what's the best tag now for paths along
rice paddies? Should it be man_made=bund [1]? :)
