An easy way to make people contribute to other tasks than the TM jobs. There is a column to see what is pending, ongoing or done. Easy to follow with the wiki watchlist (for those who do not know: when logged in, just click on the white star on the top bar, it turns blue and whenever the page is updated you will receive an email (maybe check you settings to be sure it is configured this way).<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>I put a starting and a finishing date, what makes realize how fast the community often responds. Even I, leading the Activation, had not such a clear overview of the tasks already done (if I forgot some, please do not hesitate to update the table), what neither the TM website, the blogposts nor the wikipage provided. <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>The table template could surely be improved:<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>- maybe the time template (the one used does not encompass the years)<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>- would be great to create templates for both the Type (TM job, Validation, Imagery, Mapping, Import) and Status (Done, Ongoing, Pending) columns, to make them automatically colored in order to facilitate the reading, as it exists eg for yes/no (see <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Android">here</a>).
