(hit send too soon...)
MapRoulette is awesome!
Had a bunch of thoughts on displaying stats, users, etc, and realized I was
just pushing some of the existing features of HOT Tasking Server into
MapRoulette. The differences between tasking and maproulette is 1) how tasks
are created (tasking you create a grid. how are tasks created in maproulette?)
2) the size of the task (single vs tile). Even in Map Roulette, there are some
places where I could have taken a larger chunk, a single area with 5
connectivity errors is just as easy to fix; I just got one such roulette spin,
and wasn't sure if I should fix the others or not, because there's no way to
mark them fixed.
Connecting MapRoulette to Keep Right is brilliant. But what if you want to do
something focused? Possible to create your own jobs in MapRoulette? In the
tasking server, there's no analysis of contributions ... I'd like to set up
KeepRight analysis of an area being mapped for HOT to catch errors and build
stats on what's being mapped. Say you're drawing buildings ... analysis and
give stats and visualization of that particular feature growth overall and per
tile.
I'd like micro-tasking tools to be integrated lightly into osm.org. If you're
browsing or monitoring an area, you can get alerted if there are relevant tasks
to do. Or at least just have a general reminder to go check it out.
I guess the real question is ... is there a common pattern here, and are the
benefits of merging tools somehow worth the cost?
