Harry,
Problem of communication. I was reporting earlier this sunday that both you and
Andrew had started to update a wiki page. And the wiki page url was mentionned.
I think that Andrew did the same before.
This intervention is well started as is and we can coordinate the remote
mapping through this Discussion list and the wiki page. The core members like
Andrew, you, me and others interested, we can simply coordinate via Skype if
necessary.
The wording Activation is generally used when we need to coordinate with
UN-Agencies and other partners. For example, in 2012 we have mapped intensively
in north of Mali without moving to an Activation We moved to an Activation only
when we had a request fro UN-Ocha and started to establish contacts with the
humanitarian on the field.
I think that we can successly monitor this intervention as is for the time
being.
For tasks such as roads and rivers, I agree that the Task Manager is not
suited for that. The best would be to have a list of tasks to do, where a
contributor can add simply is name to indicate that he take care of this task.
As for the Task Manager, there should be an option to confirm that he finished
the task. Could a simple wiki page do the Job. If this seems to complicated for
certain contributors, what would be the other options?
Pierre
