[..] And let's underline that Frederik's remark is not semantic nitpicking in a vacuum: in the context of HOT's campaigns the quality vs. quantity issue has quite a track record. Integrating within the task manager the tracking of the quantity of Osmose defects would go some way towards addressing the monitoring of actual quality. Tying a selection of Osmose errors categories to the "validation" step would help make it an actual validation rather than a formal rubberstamp - doesn't even need to be mandatory, it just needs to be made visible. Actual quality assurance tools are just there within arm's reach... ___ HOT mailing list HOT@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/hot

At best, I'd call it a tool that monitors "richness" or "completeness". Simply counting how many features there are and how many of a pre-defined list of tags each one has shouldn't be called "quality monitoring", because there will be situations where the OpenStreetMap community requests of project managers (who your web site claims to be targeted at) that they implement some form of quality assurance; calling your statistics tool a "quality monitoring" tool runs the risk of making these people believe that quality requirements can be fulfilled by ensuring that enough tags are set, which is definitely not what the wider community would regard as a suitable quality assurance for a humanitarian data entry project.
