Hello Tómas, Thank you for having interest on Borneo and making the landcover here better!
I have a similar project for Borneo currently running at damn project, but personally i have excluded all/most part of malaysia like in here because the clear forest around the logging path is too many to trace. Do you have any guidelines on how large should a cleared forest become, until it should be traced? thank you again!

Comment from Tómas Ingi
Hi,
I did notice that there was some logging going on in the forest - I am not aware of any broader consensus on this issue, but I believe that a decent rule of thumb would be to map with a "maintainable" amount of accuracy - that is, update the cleared forests with a level of accuracy such that future changes to the forest (which seem to be quite rapid here) don't overwhelm the maintenance of the map.
To me, in this case it seemed that the cleared areas are still small enough that the area can be said to be "almost entirely forest". Of course, if we decide that the cleared areas have become too large to be classified as a part of the forest, they can always be added in later as inner members - I've found that this method of doing first broader strokes, then adding in more detailed areas later has worked well in the places I normally map land cover (mostly my home country of Iceland). In this case, I tried to locate all the cleared areas that were large enough to contain buildings and add them as inner members from the start.
I would gladly hear your thoughts on this, if you agree/disagree with anything. Always good to hear from other mappers :)
