I think you're probably right. There is a danger that nothing will
happen because so many people have good ideas that no decision is
reached. <br>
<br>
I will see if I can raise the requests at the Training Working
Group & I see it has already appeared in the Activation
Working Group agenda.<br>
<br>
It would be really good to hear from someone technical who could
comment on how easy it would be to implement in a reasonable
timescale any of the ideas (I could still approach British Red
Cross &/or Medecins Sans Frontier who offered technical help
if it was wanted - but I don't want to tread on toes & at the
moment I'm not sure we clearly know what the mappers actually want
/ need). I think in TM2 the HOT mappers have been given a very
good piece of software & I wouldn't want to see anything
produced which would affect it's performance.<br>
<br>
It appears as if there are two phases (I'm deliberately trying to
keep this vague to allow adaptation);<br>
a/. Mappers would like to easily see any validation comments on
their mapping, and,<br>
b/. Some form of help channel / help desk / FAQ - various very
good ideas for means of providing this have been put forward. <br>
<br>

we're overthinking this issue. The first few suggestions that
were made were on the money - that mappers can have the ability
to receive feedback on squares they complete, by ticking an
opt-in box when they complete a task. Validators can then
provide valuable feedback to new and longstanding mappers alike.

<div>I have dabbled in IRC in the past, but now that I tend to
use a graphic based environment, I find IRC very draining and
sometimes hard to follow. The task manager provides such a
clean welcoming interface, that it seems a backward step to
have to refer to IRC to ask questions. I have found ways of
checking back on tasks I complete through stats, and I have
found how to message the author of an object by sourcing their
nickname through JOSM, authors. This has allowed me to provide
some feedback, but I'm not sure how the 'experienced'
community deals with mappers who regularly make the same
errors or poorly interpret aerial images.</div>

<div>IMO I would like the opportunity to give and receive
feedback on tasks that I complete/validate. Perhaps add a
'Mark as Done - request feedback' button, or a check box for
each task. Validators could then have 'invalidate - provide
feedback' and 'validate - provide feedback' buttons, or check
boxes that would include comments they have made on the task.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am really wanting to get feedback on the work that I'm
completing, but don't know the best way to request this so I
hope we can reach a solution soon.</div>
