    <p>getting interested by the blog post and subsequent discussion
      here, I decided to monitor ongoing developments in this area. I
      wrote some comments on changesets to make participants aware that
      alternative imagery to the given project imagery should also be
      used - no response. I also tried to correct some buildings and the
      road layout west of the airport. Now mostly ruined again by
      project 12111. Also interesting to see the discussion about
      changset 116808167.<br>
      Guess what? After mapping and validation this area with project
      12120 again, the crap is still there. How is something like this
      possible?<br>

      <div dir="auto">I think one problem is each project is separate
        and independent.  There is no requirement that says validation
        should be done in JOSM.  Technically the task manager software
        could be configured to only allow JOSM to be used for
        validation.
        <div dir="auto"><br>
        </div>
        <div dir="auto">The other problem is the numbers involved. 
          There just isn't a big enough pool of experienced mappers who
          validate.  </div>
        <div dir="auto"><br>
        </div>
        <div dir="auto">Just how do you validate a project with
          buildings?  Much of the time the imagery is fuzzy.  Some
          mappers always use Bing imagery to do HOT mapping no
          matter what the instructions say.  Then you get to the odd
          shapes and sizes.  Are you supposed to correct them?  It takes
          much longer to correct them than to map them in JOSM with the
          buildings_tool plugin.  This doesn't keep validators movitated
          to carry on validating.</div>
        <div dir="auto"><br>

        <div dir="auto">More central control?  Dunno, there are

            <p>Hello.I have checked  at random a few mappings of project
              11385 and can't say anything else but that the validation
              went well wrong.<br>
              There are 2 people who validated most of them in iDeditor

              <br>
              Then I am not talking about whether or not poorly mapped
              buildings were squared. Yes , changes were made, but most
              of them were not changed, while in iDeditor the errors
              were reported.<br>
              <br>
              To my opinion the best option here is to asign a few
              experenced validators to this project, put all tasks back
              to "more validaton needed" and start all over again with
              validating<br>
