Quarterly mapping challenges updates and summary statistics: Challenges remain strong as volunteers complete three challenges and TNMCorps opens three more. See the updates below for where we’ve been and where we’re headed.
City/Town Halls
We’re most of the way through our mission to revisit some of the earlier states that participated in city halls challenges. Volunteers recently completed challenges for New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania City/Town Halls and Georgia and South Carolina City/Town Halls. We also just launched a new challenge for city/town halls in Arkansas (see Table 1). According to the map in our previous Mapping Challenges Updates article (January 2022), that leaves only Alabama.
Points With No Edit History
Once this endeavor wraps, our plan is to shift challenges from city halls to focusing more on points with no edit history. Of course, there’s no need to wait for a mapping challenge to begin editing these no-edit-history points. If you’d like to edit these sooner rather than later, see the article in this quarterly newsletter for more on where these points are located along with what feature types they cover.
