Hi, a "thing" I've noticed that often squares are locked and seemingly finished and then unlocked instead of marked as finished. If that is really as widespread as I get the feeling it is, maybe the "unlock" button could be replaced/augmented by a "ask an experienced mapper to review my changes" button. Or detect when someone goes on locking/unlocking squares without ever finishing them.
Some new mappers are never going to mark a square done because they just do not feel like the know enough to say it is done. And we get a lot of new mappers.
If we want more more tasks marked done then I think the easiest, no real code change, way is to just put some text on the task unlock/mark as done panel that says something like:
"If it looks to you like the goals of this task have been completed for this square, please mark it Done so it can be checked by another mapper."
Right now there is no text encouraging someone to mark a task done if it looks like it might be done or explaining what Done means.
Speaking of the TM2: it seems to me that validating a square is never handed out when requesting a random task. This could be changed to increase the validation rate, by asking people with more finished squares[1] to validate some before going on.
Regards, David [1] which, coincidentally is also a gamification of sorts to use the number of finished ((and?) validated?) squares as a proxy for experience and unlock more "features" for higher "ranked" people. _______________________________________________ HOT mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/hot
