My hope and plan was that once the technical bits of the import had settled down, we'd run many events and try to grow the user community using the import process, with the ultimate goal that we'd have more on the ground mapping.
*What's happened instead is that we have 2348 completed tasks (over half!) with a concentration of tasks completed by a few users:* *celosia 120* ediyes_nycbuildings 183 ingalls 577 lxbarth 265 Rub21_nycbuildings 1064 lxbarth, ingalls, ediyes and Rub21_nycbuildings are all MapBox employees, and as a total, account for 2089 of those tasks, out of the 2348 completed tasks. Unfortunately the MapBox employee edits have been of bad quality, done extremely rapidly with lots of errors, tons of omissions. In nearly every single task I've examined from a MapBox rapid mapper, I've found errors or omissions in the data, and these edits in aggregate account for 88% of the total completed tasks. celosia is a local user admitted to not doing any validation at all. Or, put another way, of the completed tasks, only 6% of the edits in NYC have been done by locals (I'm exclusing celosia's edits here because they're not validated). This is entirely unlike the Seattle import in that it is *not* been done by the local community. - Serge
