[Talk-ug] Talk-ug Digest, Vol 31, Issue 2

Wed Nov 14 19:41:00 UTC 2018

Hello Dr. Huck,

Thanks for reaching out to our mailing list about the offer to import huts
data into OSM for Uganda.

I have a few comments

1. I think it would be good to share the data that you intend to import, so
we can assess the quality.
2. How recent is the DG imagery that was used in digitizing the huts?

Regards,
Geoffrey
