Tracing guide for Aweil, South Sudan

@Gregor_D Hi Gregor, there is no need to map corrals, so you can ignore them. Thanks for you effort!

@AmitaJacob: Please, map the tukuls as areas, not points. Tukuls (as well as any other buildings) are supposed to be mapped as area and categorized as building.

@SamSunnyCT happy to help you. And thanks for your effort. Our teams in South Sudan are looking forward to work with the maps, so your help is really appreciated.

@SamSunnyCT @roosjes: Send me the link to a task, where you are not sure.

And you are supposed to map buildings as well as residential areas, i. e. areas inside that are buildings.

@ErickF Hi Erick, thanks for the good point. I have updated the tracing guide by adding a paragraph about residential areas:

Residential area is an area with more than two buildings. Whenever you draw one or two buildings, do not draw residential area around it. Sometimes, it makes sense to draw one huge residential area instead plenty of small ones. Please, do zoom out and consider the right size of the residential area you are mapping. Here is an example of an area, where drawing one bigger residential area is a better decision.

@Nielkrokodil Hi, the concept is same as in other Missing maps tasks: the most important is to map what the task is asking for (residential areas & building in this case), because that is what we need first of all. A wonderful thing about editing OSM is that the map can be used in many different ways by anyone, who needs it. So there can be someone, who would appreciate roads being mapped in the future. So technically, it is not wrong to map roads. But as we are under time pressure, please focus on buildings first, there are still a lot of unmapped squares in the priority area. Happy that the tracing guide helped. Jan
