+#HOT Remote Response Guide  
+The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) is a global community working to apply the principles of open source and open data sharing towards humanitarian response and economic development.
+
+###How Remote Response Works 
+
+![MissingMapsProcess](http://hot.openstreetmap.org/sites/default/files/styles/large/public/process.png?itok=jlAYWov0)
+
+The majority of HOT’s response activities occur remotely. After a disaster strikes, HOT members search for existing data and available satellite imagery. Pertinent partners are contacted to provide ODbL compatible imagery. Once the imagery is obtained the virtual community digitizes, or traces from the imagery (normally, the focus is on recognizable objects that are useful for humanitarian response, like roads, buildings, blocked roads, flood extent, etc) and generates data and maps. During this time, responding organizations are also contacted to determine their needs.
+
+Considering the scale of the crisis, HOT allocates the necessary resources and the response is coordinated by a specific team or member who makes sure everyone knows when new resources are available as well as where to focus efforts. HOT fosters the engagement of the OSM community and, if existing, local actors to use tools like the Tasking Manager to coordinate response efforts. Examples include the remote activities done in Ivory Coast, Senegal, Philippines, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

+
+###The HOT Tasking Manager 
+
+The [HOT Tasking Manager](http://tasks.hotosm.org/) is a open source tool designed to divide up a mapping job into smaller tasks that can be completed rapidly. It shows which areas need to be mapped and which areas need the mapping validated by others. It includes mapping tasks for [Activations](http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/HOT_activation), and longer standing [Humanitarian Projects](http://hot.openstreetmap.org/projects). 
+
+In order to use the HOT Tasking Manager you need to sign up with OpenStreetMap (OSM) with a username and password. For more instructions read the [Tasking Manager Tutorial](http://learnosm.org/en/coordination/tasking-manager/).

+###Editing Tools 
+
+[iD](http://learnosm.org/en/editing/id-editor/) - the web-based editor created by [Mapbox](www.mapbox.com) with a very user-friendly interface. Generally considered the best editing tool to start with. You can launch this [interactive iD editor tutorial](http://ideditor.com/) to get acquainted with how to use it.
+
+![iDeditor](https://blog.openstreetmap.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/id-editor-sotm-us-2013-venue-screenshot.png)
+
+
+[JOSM](https://josm.openstreetmap.de/)- a Java app pronounced as "Jaws-um", which requires downloading the app and has a greater learning curve. Although it takes longer to setup and learn, it is super-fast for making more edits. Using a mouse is recommended for using this editor.

+
+###Advice & Words of Encouragement
+
+>"To practice it's recommended you start with a local area you know and try some
+editing, such as updating a local building in your neighborhood." 
+
+>"Some tasks are easier than others; if you don't feel up to one of them, simply cancel out and try another!" -Peter (@meetar) 
+
+>"It's no problem if you don't finish the task; just upload what you've done and unlock the task so others can work on it." -Peter (@meetar)  
+
+>"If you'd like to see examples of the quality of work that passes muster, check out one of the green "validated" tasks. Don't worry, clicking the "Review the work" button doesn't commit you to anything – it just locks the task as though you were editing it. Load it like normal, and simply unlock the task again when you're done." -Peter (@meetar)  
+
+
+>"The satellite pictures are sometimes difficult to interpret, but don't worry too much about drawing the perfect line or shape – your work will be reviewed and modified by others, and improved with time. And remember, these are crisis areas, not tax records or voting districts – these maps will be read by people who may be in a hurry, in the dark, or in danger. In West Africa, even a rough line on a map is an expression of hope. In Gaza, many of the buildings to be mapped are already gone; but we mark the fact of their construction. Accuracy is nice, but it isn't the point." -Peter (@meetar)

+Glossary 
+============
+
+>This glossary is in the process of being updated and has been compiled from numerous other sources including the [OpenStreetMap Wiki](http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Main_Page) site and a guide written by Will Skora. Feel free to help us update it by reviewing [CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/hotosm/learnosm/blob/gh-pages/CONTRIBUTING.md) for how to contribute to the site. 
+
+Activation - Sometimes referred to as a crisis, disaster, or emergency response and generally characterized by a specific event and/or anticipated humanitarian impact with a relatively shorter time-frame associated with the response and recovery phases of the disaster cycle than a longer-term Humanitarian Project.
+
+[Changeset](http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Changeset): A group of changes that you made to OSM data. Once uploaded to OSM, your edits are instantly available to others if they download them. They may take a few minutes or several hours to appear on the map.
+
+Extract: A large chunk of OSM data for a specific area (like a state, country, or geographic area).
+
+[Field Papers](http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Field_Papers): is a web-based tool for easily creating a printable map atlas for anywhere in the world that you can print and add notes to. See [http://fieldpapers.org/](http://fieldpapers.org/) for more details. 
+
+[iD editor](http://ideditor.com/) - Web-based beginner-friendly OpenStreetMap editor designed by Mapbox 
+
+[JOSM](https://josm.openstreetmap.de/) - pronounced "Jaws-um", OpenStreetMap editor written in Java. 
+
+[Layer](http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Layer): A data source that's displayed on a slippy map (often is thought of as a group of tiles stitched together).
+
+[Node](http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Node): A node is one of the core elements in the OpenStreetMap data model. It consists of a single point in space defined by its latitude, longitude and node id. Nodes can be used to define standalone point features, but are more often used to define the shape or "path" of a way.
+
+[Relation](http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Relation): one of the core data elements that consists of one or more tags and also an ordered list of one or more nodes, ways and/or relations as members which is used to define logical or geographic relationships between other elements. For examples go to the [Types of Relations](http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Types_of_relation) wiki page. 
+
+Render: to convert from data into an image. Rendered data is a map.
+
+Slippy Map: What you see when you're on osm.org! Consists of a layer and a software library that controls interactive features like zooming & panning
+
+Stylesheet: In most instances, it means a text file that's used to determine what features (which roads ?) are displayed, and how (what color should the road be ? Its width ? ) on a map.
+
+Tag: Tags describe describe a point, line or polygons. Each tag contains a key and value (written in OSM as 'key=value'). For example, highway=residential and name=Woodland Avenue. A Point, line, or polygon usually have more than one tag on them. Sometimes choosing the right tag is confusing. [Taginfo](https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/) helps you by showing statistics about which tags are actually in the database, how many people use those tags, where they are used and so on. It also gets information about tags from the wiki and from other places.
+
+TIGER: A data source from the US Census Bureau that was imported into OSM, in 2007. This is the source for most data in the USA in OSM.
+
+Tile: a small image (256x256 pixels ) of rendered map data.
+
+[Way](http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Way): an ordered list of nodes which normally also have at least one tag or is included within a Relation. A way can have between 2 and 2,000 nodes, although it's possible that faulty ways with zero or a single node exist. A way can be open or closed.
+
+* A closed way ![closedwayimage](http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/images/thumb/e/ed/Mf_closed_way.svg/20px-Mf_closed_way.svg.png) is one whose last node on the way is also the first on that way. A closed way may be interpreted either as a closed polyline, or an area, or both. 
+
+* An open way ![openwayimage](http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/images/thumb/2/2a/Mf_way.svg/20px-Mf_way.svg.png) is way describing a linear feature which does not share a first and last node. Many roads, streams and railway lines are open ways.
+
+###Note on OSM Editing Terms:
+
+Many terms to describe map features in OSM are used in dialects of British English and spelled as such. Like neighbourhood.
+
+motorway - we considered as 'freeway' motorway_link - on/off ramps
+
+Pitch - used to describe a playing field. Including tennis courts, basketball courts, baseball diamonds, or football fields.
