I'm sitting here, wondering how long it'll take until we have finally managed to complete the bloody farmland areas while there are highly developed countries where they barely have buildings or POIs...

I hope in Germany we'll have all the farmland covered in less than three years 🤤

It is gonna take a long time. We had a contributor (lodde1949) who drew pretty much all (!) the landuse of Flanders over the course of several years. We suspect he was an older person who did this like 8 days an hour, until he suddenly stopped. In any case, they never responded to our messages, so we have no idea who this person actually is (or was).

When I see how much of Texas hasn't been mapped, I feel like it is going to be a very long time away. I do like to spend most of my time focusing on rural areas though since they seem to get neglected.
