Hi John, Thanks for editing at OSM-BO. Quick question? what is the goal with all these Wood Islands editions that you and others are doing?
Thanks JJ -
Comment from John H Walker
Hi JJ, Thanks so much for the comment. I am an archaeologist based at the University of Central Florida in Orlando, and I study pre-Columbian cultures in the Beni. My students and I use Google Earth and ArcGIS Earth, and we are trying to learn more about Open Street Map. We want to learn if we can be a helpful part of the OSM community. Mapping the forest islands is useful for us, and I thought that contributing to OSM might be useful for the larger community.
I was just at the EIAA IV conference in Trinidad a few days ago, if you happened to be at that conference.

Comment from JJIglesias
Hi John thanks for the anwer. well please be aware that these "islands" are Not "Forest" as per OMS wiki, because they are "unmanaged vegetation" them should be considered as natural=wood. Plase also inform your colleagues that this Islands should not be named.
Good luck with your project. BsRgds JJ -
Comment from John H Walker
Hi JJ, Thanks very much for your comment. I have met with my students and we intend to follow the natural=wood protocol. I also asked some of my mappers to work on larger areas of forest, as per a different comment. We want to be helpful to the larger group. Thanks for your comments and guidance. John Walker
