AfricanDRONE efforts

What kind of resources available for OSM mappers were already produced by AfricanDRONE? Is there any imagery available for OSM editing? What is the license of published imagery? Is it listed already in JOSM imagery index?

I found https://ramanihuria.org/en/ that has nice map compare but no link to resources accessible by public,

How drone will be used?

"support the mapping activities" is kind of unspecific. What kind of efforts are planned? How imagery will be transformed and processed (ortophoto?)? How imagery will be published? Will it be accessible to general public? What kind of license?

How previous imagery was published, licensed and distributed? Mateusz Konieczny (talk) 10:06, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

Typo?

Is there a typo or a missing explanation in "mapped 80 POIs covering health facilities, schools, water points and other public infrastructures"?

Because mapping 80 OSM elements by 32 people equipped with drones seems surprisingly ineffective. If there are some unique challenges that make it a significant success then it would be probably a good idea to explain that. I would expect that single person with smartphone that has a GPS should be able to map this kind of objects, with time used primarily for travel, plus about 10 minutes max of mapping time per object.

Highflying Drone misses Grassroots Development

Craig Allan: Drone mapping is a wonderful way to improve mapping in resource poor areas. I plan to do such a project in Lamu, Kenya. But in this application, I do not find any mention of connecting with, increasing, advancing or strengthening the OSM community in Nigeria - this is an unfortunate flaw in the application. I believe these micro-grants are not for data development projects. Rather they serve (or should serve) to develop the OSM community or the OSM systems that support mapping operations.
