[HOT] wish list on validation

I'm looking at a project with more than 1,000 tiles that need validating. Some are done by mappers who are new, some by experienced mappers. What I'd like is something to serve up the tiles most in need of validation in the order of priority. So new mappers first, recent work first, trusted
