As a test to see how successful it would be, I'm interested in having a project / Task which is marked up as suitable for new mappers. The squares should be much smaller in size, such that we anticipate the new mapper can complete a square within 15 to 20 minutes. In the perfect world that square would then be looked at fairly soon by a validator who makes suggestions if they are needed. After completing a few of these squares the new mapper should have the confidence to move onto any of the other general tasks. As an aside, this need not be a 'new task' - it could just as easily be a 'high' which has dropped down the list, but it would need adapting with additional instructions, and exisitng squares awaiting validation being validated & the outstanding squares being split far smaller than normal. It would need to be advertised so that new mappers find it - highlighted link from the home page of the Tasking Manager?
What a great idea. I could not agree more with this suggestion. I would be happy to help with task creation, validation and feedback.
It seems like a very easy thing to do technically as well since everything that is needed for it is already in place right now.
