Regarding the grid square border areas, one easy protocol I used in
Saint-Marc, Haiti was this one: please do not choose a square adjacent

Very sensible approach. I think the early task manager versions actually handed out random tasks under the restriction that it should be near the last own edit and far from other currently active tasks.

    The intent is not to have people upload the grid squares. I don't
    believe Potlatch causes a problem since it shows as an overlay.

    The issue occurs when people merge the grid with the data they
    download from JOSM.  Perhaps a warning when the grid is downloaded
    will help with the situation.

    Jaakko, to answer your question I don't think we should leave it for
    the validators. It is hard to get people to validate as it is. I think
    editing a little over the edge is fine. There shouldn't be problems
    with editing conflicts really at least no worse than when we didn't
    have the Tasking Manager and people just edited where they thought
    work needed to happen.
