Hi, I hope making the subject line match the earlier threads brings this email under that thread rather than a separate one. Apologies if that happens.
I'm not very involved in organising, am also a beginner (user:Answerquest <https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Answerquest>). Just slipping in a suggestion: It seems many of the tasks and issues with learning, teaching mapping, quality control being discussed in this mailing list belong more to the tasks.teachosm.org platform rather than the HOT platform. I'm organiser of a few tasks on teachosm, and there we are able to really focus on keeping a good grip on the mappers. The website name itself is a solid statement that they are learning the ropes and have to be careful. Also there the urgency aspect does not apply - "if it takes long then let it take long but let's do it right" is our ethos there. So my suggestion is to move certain tasks out from HOT - which was created as I understand for more urgent and time-critical matters (Pls correct me if wrong) - and over to tasks.teachosm.org . I don't know right now technically how one may do that. Of course, I don't know fully about the urgency / non-urgency state of the tasks on HOT that you're all talking about, so I may be wrong on this. You can reach out to this email address: info [at] teachosm [dot] org - people there were very helpful and supportive for us. -- Cheers, Nikhil VJ, Pune, India PS: Removing the earlier threads as it's a mess at my end - I'm subscribed in digest mode. Apologies for loss of flow. > >
