Hi,
We do have an unused "validation" email group that was created with the idea that people who were available and interested in doing validations could share ideas, questions, tips, etc
And people who were running mapathons could easily notify people who liked to do validation that they were running a mapathon and could use some validation help during that time (not all mapathons need additional validators)
I am happy to dust it off and make it easy to join and send notifications too and make anyone who is interested a manager of the email group.
It does not quite address Mike's question as to how to know someone(s) are active and committed to validations on a particular project. But it could help with that if people who were doing validations for a project sent a notice to the group with an informative subject line like "Project 1234 has validators dedicated to it"
Another option for Mike's question is for people who are making an effort to validate a project contacted the project creator and put a note in a box at the bottom of the instructions or description that said something like "This project has active validators, please send a notice to the validators list if you would like a review of your mapping for an event or individually"
Anyway, kind of over complicated I know, but some ideas. cheers blake On 4/1/2016 4:55 PM, Mike Thompson wrote:

How do we tell if a project has an "active validator" other than looking at the tiles that have been validated?
