<p dir="ltr">Very good points you brought up Dan.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I feel very strongly about the #2 point about adding a statistic for validators, it does take effort to browse the tiles properly. I sometimes end up adding a few missing buildings or landuse areas if they are only a few minor missing features.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Hopefully those points can be looked into & developed in the near future for the Tasking Manager.</p>

Also, these statistics give the mapper, but not the validator, a psychological reward. I've been validating a lot of tiles -- sometimes I seem to be doing most of the validations on a project -- and even though seeing the number by your name increment isn't the biggest thrill in the world, I have to admit that I miss it..</div><div>-- <br><div>Dan</div>
