Thank you both, and thank you very much @rab for your constructive suggestions. The plan right now is to fix the errors that have been pointed out by doing two things:

1. Since our plan is empowering YouthMappers in different communities, we are reaching out to the global validators community to train the YMs in Mogadishu on how to make perfect edits so that when they map other areas, some of these errors will be avoided.

2. We are working with experienced mappers from Kenya and Uganda who are going to work on fixing the errors as well.

hello all, as promised 2 days ago, please find the OEG for this project explaining all the activities that are being and will be conducted. We have also included it in the activities section of the guidelines.

We are still refining this and will appreciate your comments and feedback as well.

Thanks

Imma

Hi all,

I would like to let you know that we have seen all your comments in the OSM diary and mailing list. @simoa and I are working on refining the OEG and will share it with you all in this diary and in the mailing list.

@pnorman, I apologize because I’d missed your request for the OEG, but we will share it with you this week.

Thank you all for your patience and I hope we will resolve these issues together.

Thanks, Imma

Hi @rab, we have 2 separate projects, one focusing on buildings and another one focusing on infrastructure. We have started with the digitization & validation of buildings due to the nature of the project we are conducting but soon we are going to start updating the roads. Thank you!

Hello @Ale_Zena, thank you for bringing this up. I am a creator of the project and we are working with the Youth Mappers chapter in the Somali National University (SNU) to do the digitization in Mogadishu using the most recent 2021 imagery.

We will be transferring some of the digitization to more experienced mappers using OSM and will continue working with the SNU YMs to improve their mapping skills in less dense areas.

We also have a team of experienced mappers that are constantly and regularly going into the projects and validating the mapping that is being done.

Thanks once again for bringing this up and pointing it out, I see that we are all working on improving & providing the best data for OSM in Mogadishu :)
