Hello,
Cheers to Blake and Dan for articulating all I have been feeling
about doing validations.
I do think that new terminology is needed ("invalidated" -- ugh!).
Why not just change it to "needs more mapping"? We don't need a single
word.
Also, it would be good to have a
Hi James,
Thanks a lot for the initiative!
For the two Congo's it might be usefull to still try to reach out a little
more to the local communities. Because I know in both countries, we have
OSM enthusiasts.
By the way, are we talking about the same data?

And just to go off at a tangent has anyone thought about tapping into old
people's homes? Some residents are mentally alert and it might help keep
them amused. Not a full scale mapathon and you might even have to explain
what a mouse is. Many will not have wifi, but JOSM can work off line and I
I wonder if this has been discussed before - and I apologized if it
has - would it be a viable idea to add a slider or a percentage drop
down menu for the mapper to select the amount of work that still needs
to be done for each task? This can be a subjective and rough estimate
from the person worki
It's an interesting discussion and one that we have fairly frequently.
At the mapathons we run in London, whoever is doing the training is careful
to make clear that volunteers should mark squares as done once they think
they are done. They are reassured that when a validator goes over their

"Needs another look?" maybe, both incomplete and invalid are slightly
negative. I like the idea of sending someone a more positive message when
their tiles have been validated, could it include the comment by the
validator?

Hi all,
I’m pleased to announce the launch of a long-term initiative to upload
logging road data from across the Congo Basin. We currently have three TM
projects running:
-
Democratic Republic of the Congo: http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/920
-
Central African Republic: http://tas
'incomplete' instead of 'invalid'?
I'll be honest, I've never validated a task b/c I thought you needed a
certain level of 'certification' (even informally).

This is kind of a very subtle point, but I have written about it before:
I find it difficult to validate tiles because they so often need more
work and are not really "done".
That leaves me with these choices:

Hi all,
Can anyone point to anywhere there is a good account of Haiti 2010 and the
reaction of OSM people (and subsequent development of HOT)? Particularly
how you organised yourselves around this task at such short notice and any
timelines.
This is not super important, so please don't spend ages

and whilst I'm on my soap box there are two other issues with tiles. The
first is micro tiling where tiles without much on them are split into
sixteen tiles each with perhaps one hut on them, and the other is I've seen
tiles that really are completely mapped, yes I've gone through them

But on the other hand we have some mappers whom I'm confident their tiles
will contain only very minor errors, and given the large number of projects
that could do with mapping I'm not sure that spending time validating these
is the best use of our very limited resources. If we are going to spend
I just updated the spreadsheet — the user numbers were inflated thanks to a
subtle bug in my code with big consequences… they now more closely track total
participant counts in the HOT tasking manager.
(Many thanks to DaCor and Ciaran Staunton who helped me track this down.)

We have already made similar propositions a few times on the Github isssues
service for the Tasking manager. See the recent
discussion.https://github.com/hotosm/osm-tasking-manager2/issues/545

Dear Dale,
I know all the NGO they don’t have the time in Haiti, we have seen the
result in the field.
I thought we were here to reinforce local capacity, see what has been
done previously and coordinate with the existing capacity.

Hi Daniel,
This makes much sense.
Do you have a github account? If so, please create an issue and copy
paste your message there.

Fred, I can't wait for the imagery. I would love to see the imagery and
think of ways to incorporate it into our project in Canaan.
The majority of the help that we need at this moment is completing the

Dear dale,
During our last UAV mission with OSM Haiti we covered a small part of

We are making the post traitment and will publish it when it will be
ready (with Jean Guilhem).
However we will need to cover more area. Our last mission
