Re: [HOT] Projects on the HOT OSM Tasking Manager - lots of them

The key for moving people from one-time to many-time contribution is motivation. I have seen volunteers suddenly much more motivated when I commented with more than a few words on a validation I did. But at least equally important is task and tile size. Large tasks are tackled more than a few

Re: [HOT] Projects on the HOT OSM Tasking Manager - lots of them

Ralf and John. I don't either of you are ranting but providing good feedback that aligns with my own thinking about tasks. I favor smaller tasks that can be completed quickly rather than huge tasks that take multiple mappers to complete. One thing that I think we are moving towards is a set of

Re: [HOT] Projects on the HOT OSM Tasking Manager - lots of them

Perhaps what we need to do is do a small reality check. The HOT tile system is geared up to one mapper completing one tile then a second mapper validating it. The first mapper then corrects any errors if any and the tile is validated and marked completed. Yes but that doesn't seem to be quite

Re: [HOT] Projects on the HOT OSM Tasking Manager - lots of them

Something that baffles me about the TM is that when a task is split, the original tile seems to disappear from existence, even though people could still have a reference to it, they will get a not found message and they can't read the comments anymore. As a long time OSM contritbutor, I started

Re: [HOT] Projects on the HOT OSM Tasking Manager - lots of them

Dear all, This is an interesting topic, I think what is important is to focus on how the data will be useful for responders & communities on the ground. On some requests (particularly for humanitarian operations), what we really need is to obtain a first overview of an area (villages & roads)

I raised https://github.com/hotosm/osm-tasking-manager2/issues/718 focused only on the front page list/different purposes it serves. Ideas or examples of other 'task priority' UI encouraged. On Mon, Dec 7, 2015 at 3:40 AM, Jo wrote: > Something that baffles me about the TM

Re: [HOT] Projects on the HOT OSM Tasking Manager - lots of them

Re: [HOT] Projects on the HOT OSM Tasking Manager - lots of them

We have great training materials to onboard new mappers. Maybe its time to focus on developing more materials for validation and recruit more validators? The current tasking manager requires you to validate each task. But, in most cases, quality of edits depend on a specific mapper. We can do
