As well as the very good Mapgive site, could I suggest that
someone has a read through <a
href="http://learnosm.org/en/coordination/remote/">http://learnosm.org/en/coordination/remote/</a>
which includes links to the section about the Tasking Manager.
Although there will always be mistakes, the main point to watch
out for, is that only experienced mappers should be carrying out
the validation. <br>
<br>
When all of the squares of a project are taken & the mapper
clicks on the 'take a task at random' link, the software can
present a mapper with a square for validation instead - it does
give a warning about this, but it is easily misunderstood, or not
seen at all - hence a new mapper can unwittingly end up marking a
square as 'validated'.<br>
<br>
Good luck & thanks for this initiative - it is worthwhile!<br>
<br>
Regards<br>

<div>At Wikimedia Sverige we quickly started organizing an event
at our office in Stockholm when we heard about the earthquake <span
style="font-size: 12pt;">(we started the work before I read
about the problems that you have experienced)</span><span
style="font-size: 12pt;">. The event will take place on the
29 April. </span></div>

<div><span style="font-size: 12pt;">I have asked the
participants to go through the videos at Mapgive, and me and
my colleague will help guide the beginners as well. I have
participated in a number of tasks the last years and can
surely help them avoid stuff like not connecting lines etc.,
but I do not consider myself an expert, so any further
pointers would be welcome. Also, if you have a good
presentation for HOT ready that you would be willing to
share, please email me. Finally, if there is a specific task
in </span><a moz-do-not-send="true"

task manager</a><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> that we
