Editing.

Posted by jonston weston on 23 August 2011 in English.

Kazi kubwa ilikuwa ni kuingiza data kwenye ramani. imenichukua muda nfupi sana kuingiza hizo data ila zoezi lililokuwa gumu kwangu ni kutofautisha matumizi ya ardhi katika makazi ya muhalitani.
Kwa sasa kazi inaonekana kumalizika kwani sehemu kubwa ya muhalitani imeishaingizwa kwenye ramani. tunawashukuru watu wote walioshiriki au wanaoshiriki kukamilisha zoezi hili.
