Greetings OSM-Colorado,
I try to limit my ‘shameless’ plugs for the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team, but after today’s news of another major earthquake to hit Nepal; we need all the help we can get. For general information on the response and what we are doing, visit: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/
wiki/2015_Nepal_earthquake I think the biggest need right now if for more experienced mappers to quickly knock out the more difficult tasks as well as validate, as I think the numbers are showing several thousand new OSM contributors participating via the Tasking Manager: http://tasks.hotosm.org/
If you can lend a hand, it would surely be appreciated.
