    Hi there,<br>
    <br>
    as a newbie I think the idea of a HOT chatroom would be great!
    Although I read the beginners guide to JOSM it apparently didn´t
    cover everything. It would accelerate my work very much to get quick
    answers to my questions (unfortunately in my area there are no
    mappathons yet), instead of looking at tiles that are already marked
    as validated to get inspiration from what I see there or go through
    all the mailinglist posts to see if it has already been mentioned
    there. <br>
    <br>
    Best regards,<br>

        <div>I like the idea of creating a 'experienced mapper' status
          who can validate/invalidate steps, and also promote other
          mappers to this status, after they have validated much of
          their work and can vouch for their mapping abilities and
          consistency, while the beginners start out only being able to
          map non-validated tasks.</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>Cristiano had a great idea during the sprint of possibly
          including a chat room tab on the TM project, where beginners
          can ask mapping questions specific to the project. It would be
          great if the 'experienced mappers' could guide the beginners
          here too.</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>I am taking note of all the suggestions for improvements to
          the Activation process, so that we can bring them up at the

                    Following this discussion, the Activation team feels
                    that having an extra step of validation than the one
                    embedded in each TM job would be a great asset to
                    ensure a better quality and consistency for the OSM
                    data produced through the Activation. <br>
                  </div>
                  If cleaning data or making it more consistent thrills
                  you (it is actually the case for me) and you already
                  have a large experience of it, please send an email to
                  the activation email (copied) to likely access future
                  TM jobs with large areas of data to validate, maybe
                  related on two folds (road network vs the rest). <br>
