KENYA: Mapping An African Slum
By Susan Anyangu-Amu
NAIROBI, Jan 4 (IPS) - In early November, a group of explorers set out to map a blank space in Africa’s map. Twelve youths armed with global positioning system (GPS) devices made the rounds of the Nairobi slum of Kibera.
The teens are working with an organisation called OpenStreetMap to create a public map of their neighbourhood, seven kilometrs southwest of the city centre. It is the second-largest informal settlement in Africa, after South Africa’s Soweto township.

why is it still not committed to the database? The project is finished and the data is there. It makes no sense. Check it out:

Kibera remains a blank spot...

Yeah, it's a real pity this isn't in the database yet... I can't understand why either. Is it to stop other people contributing by tracing the area? I would think there's more danger that someone will not have read about the project but stumble over the untraced area and duplicate the effort. :(
Great project though :)

Sorry for the delay .. I'm just cleaning up a little bit before doing the import to OSM .. should be done within the next week or so. Will appreciate eyes on the data once it's been imported. Thanks
