From within Tajikistan:
"Thanks for the work, its really valuable I believe."
"Looks very good.Thanks for this !!"
"This is FANTASTIC!!"
"The Khorog map is great!! I like to see the many details in this map which is very good resolution at the same time. I have been playing around with this to see how one could use it for various purposes. Will hope to stay in touch to see how this map will improve. Thanks for sharing."
"very useful! Thank you!"
"great work!"
"Stéphane, the map you guys made is just amazing! Thank u soo much!"
"Amazingly beautiful!"
"Very practical "
From abroad:
"Nice job ! :-)"
"That's fantastic "
"Tweet this to the Pres. He'll love it... :) "
So I wanted to bring those praises back to you :-)Hi!
and thanks for your active involvement! I'm happy to see that the map
of Khorog has dramatically improved since Saturday :-)
Formally, there is no organisation behind this project... Just me and
a couple of friends and ex-colleagues in Tajikistan.
I have been living and working there for more than 2 years and still
try to remain active and do some (hopefully) useful stuff!
As Tajikistan is highly prone to natural disasters and suffers from a
lack of available spatial data (that is necessary for disaster
prevention and disaster relief), I have started this project as a
show-case for NGOs and other institutions. Once the whole city is
mapped, I will try to use it to demonstrate to those people how
crowd-sourcing (and OSM) can be a very interesting option for some of
their activities.
That's for the story!
Cheers,
Stéphane
