Dear HOT community, Recently, a lot has been talked about the new Tasking Manager and the redesign we are currently implementing. I invite you to have a look at our TM talk from State of the Map 2019 <https://media.ccc.de/v/sotm2019-1319-tales-from-the-tasking-manager>, if you want to know more.
This email is to share with you an update of the development progress and an expected timeline for the roll-out. A lot of people depend on that and we want to make sure you can plan and you are aware of each of the steps. We want you to verify and support us to make the transition to Tasking Manager 4 a smooth experience for everybody. All ongoing work is being discussed in our two working groups, and we encourage you to join if you want participate in driving the direction of the Tasking Manager: - User working group <https://bit.ly/tm-user-group> - Developer working group <https://github.com/hotosm/tasking-manager/blob/develop/docs/working-group.md> This is our *roll-out plan for TM4:* *1. Beginning of November 2019: *We plan to have the new Tasking Manager version 4 available for testing on a temporary instance: tm4.hotosm.org * This opens an intensive testing phase of three weeks, to which all people, organizations, developers that rely on the Tasking Manager are invited to test the new version, make sure everything works well, give input on changes that might effect the workflow. Please sign-up to this list if you want to take part in the Tasking Manager 4 testing and feedback: http://bit.ly/tm4-testing * During these three weeks we also want to activate local HOT and OSM communities to contribute with language translations. So far we've reached out to some groups, and if you want to support us with translation, please sign-up here: https://bit.ly/tm4-internationalisation * It is also the time that documentation of the new version can start, as only smaller things are expected to change. We are coordinating with LearnOSM and ask everybody who wants to help out or maintains Tasking Manager documentation anywhere else to sign-up and get in contact with us: https://bit.ly/tm4-documentation *2. After three weeks:* * The development will take an additional couple of weeks to finish up issues found during testing and incorporate the feedback obtained from everybody. * Work for documentation and translation uses these two weeks to finish. The phase for creating documentation and translation is going to be a total of five weeks. *3. After five weeks:* One week of an additional round of last testing for confirmation that everything works as expected for everybody involved. Allows testing together with documentation and in different languages. *4. After six weeks:* Release and deployment of the new Tasking Manager on tasks.hotosm.org (and we will shut down the temporary testing instance on tm4.hotosm.org) Please feel free to get in contact directly in case you have any questions, concerns or you want to collaborate more closely. Many thanks for being part of this next step of our all Tasking Manager!
