My tool of how complete an area is ( http://www.livingwithdragons.com/2008/07/just-how-mapped-is-it) saves the date/time someone reports the quality. I always had in mind later expanding that to show how long a go the QA of an area was given, and then for quality to be re-reported at later dates.
After some feedback on the tool I want to spend more time on it before making it public. Hopefully these will develop into a strong QA system. I think the data layer on the map is useful as you can quickly see the history and who made changes. There are a few usernames that I trust more. Although that frame of mind can be biased and involves knowing about users (real life changes happen on everyones patch too), it is something to consider. 2008/7/31 David Earl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > On 31/07/2008 14:17, Jukka Rahkonen wrote: > > Frederik Ramm <frederik <at> remote.org> writes: > > > >> What you're speaking of is a huge amount of work if one wants to do > >> it properly.
