<div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">Hi, </div><div dir="ltr">I hope making the subject line match the earlier threads brings this email under that thread rather than a separate one. Apologies if that happens.</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">I'm not very involved in organising, am also a beginner (<a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Answerquest">user:Answerquest</a>). Just slipping in a suggestion:</div><div dir="ltr">It seems many of the tasks and issues with learning, teaching mapping, quality control being discussed in this mailing list belong more to the <a href="https://tasks.teachosm.org">tasks.teachosm.org</a> platform rather than the HOT platform.</div><div dir="ltr">I'm organiser of a few tasks on teachosm, and there we are able to really focus on keeping a good grip on the mappers. The website name itself is a solid statement that they are learning the ropes and have to be careful. Also there the urgency aspect does not apply - "if it takes long then let it take long but let's do it right" is our ethos there.</div><div><br></div><div>So my suggestion is to move certain tasks out from HOT - which was created as I understand for more urgent and time-critical matters (Pls correct me if wrong) - and over to <a href="http://tasks.teachosm.org">tasks.teachosm.org</a> . I don't know right now technically how one may do that.</div><div><br></div><div>Of course, I don't know fully about the urgency / non-urgency state of the tasks on HOT that you're all talking about, so I may be wrong on this.</div><div><br></div><div>You can reach out to this email address: info [at] teachosm [dot] org - people there were very helpful and supportive for us. </div><div><br></div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div>--<br>Cheers,<br>Nikhil VJ, Pune, India<br></div><div><br></div><div>PS: Removing the earlier threads as it's a mess at my end - I'm subscribed in digest mode.
