Plus one. I also think a link on the "latest activity" list would be very useful. (By the way, is there a reason why this tab is hidden in the map? That looks a little strange to me)
"Last active" would also help to figure out if a new user is still around and likely to get the feedback in useful time. I think that's what you'd asked for before, and I agree that would be helpful Today I got some kind feedback by a user who validated two tasks and encouraged me to keep mapping. This user joined OSM a day ago and has 6 tasks mapped and 4 tasks validated ... :-) Cheers Kathi Gesendet mit der GMX iPhone App Am 22.10.17 um 13:06 schrieb john whelan > I would concur.
