Hi Severin,
While we discussed the development of V2, I proposed to classify the jobs by
project and to present on the main page the list of projects.
We can provide a link for the contributors to access all the jobs for a project
like the link below. But I dont find it satisfactory.
http://tasks.hotosm.org/?sort_by=priority&direction=asc&search=south-sudan
With all the projects going on and these Major activations taking all the
place, I
can understand the frustration of many coordinators.
Your proposition of grouping the projects in various thematics is interesting.
And your classification looks satisfactory to me.
For a given
project, we often use the same short_description text, from one job to
the other. The contributors are confronted with a long list of
description of projects. I dont find this very appealing.
What I would see is a hierarchy
Thematics
- Project
- job
- job
One enhancement would also be to use a hide / show functions with + , -
signs to present the thematics, projects and jobs. At the beginning,
only the title for each of these elements would be presented.
I would vote for such addition to be a priority in the developments to make to
the TM.
Pierre

Objet : [HOT] HOT Tasking Manager: missing a frontpage by projects
Hi,
The current front page of the Tasking Manager v2 looks like a lot to the v1,
with a search bar and an automatic ranking. The default one is no more the
creation date, but the priority .
Actually, this way of presenting the projects is quite messy and make invisible
everything that is no high or urgent (and IMHO it is complicated to make the
difference between high and
urgent when it deals with a deep humanitarian crisis, between population killed
by such epidemic or another, civil war or was between two
states), like the development or preparedness projects. Some crisis related
projects are also quickly going in the bottom where few mappers will go and
dig.
Thus anybody has no clear idea about the ongoing projects and many contributing
opportunities are missed.
IMHO, the front page should present (at least) these categories:
- Priority tasks for those who would like to go to the current front page
- Crisis Activations
- Crisis support (or a better expression related what is not under an
'official" HOT Activation but relates to a crisis, like the Tharparkar Drought
this year),
- Disaster Preparedness
- Development projects
- Humanitarian organization requests (that actually can crosscut other
categories)
- Community driven projects (for those made by local OSM communities)
All those categories would lead to a page where the projects have one slot
each, then the child pages would list the different jobs related to each of
them.
Having a tagging system of jobs would facilitate such page presentation.
Thoughts?
Sincerely,
Severinb
