Hi Douglas, To use the tasking manager someone needs to be made an administrator. Just send me your OSM ID so I can add you.
Why are you surprised that we do a two day workshop on the manual? Do you think this is too long or too short? BTW we have only been doing the manual/workshop in its current form in Indonesia over the past six months. Mostly the people being trained are community facilitators, who know how to use computers and do a fair amount of paper mapping. The goal being that they can actually do some mapping on their own at the end of the workshop. If I'm training technical people I usually would do it as a one day workshop.
