Thanks Harry. We have been asking Wille to create tasks as we see the need. There is no problem with the contributions of HOT volunteers since we almost didn't have buildings in the area, and they can also contribute with smaller roads, tracks, landuses, etc. In the past the data has been used for emergecies in the country by the army, some sanitary authorities and NGOs, but we can certainly do a better work at making potential users aware of its existence and how to use it in an easier way.
