Hi,<br>
<br>
I see the new HOT Tasking Manager.<br>
<br>
I feel like it does not clearly describe how it it used in the<br>
OpenStreetMap community. It is just a tool for OSM mapping, it is not<br>
the whole of OSM and I think people might be confused possibly.<br>
<br>
It also seems like the OpenStreetMap project and community should be<br>
linked to a little more so people can understand and have a path to<br>
becoming good OSM Community folks.<br>
<br>
Can we work on improving that in HOT's new Tasking Manager? I have<br>
some ideas that are mostly wording changes or additions and hopefully<br>
would be easy to add.</blockquote></div></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">As a non-American and non European, this (or Mikel's version) is definitely more pleasant to read but still brings up the same substantive points as the original email. Because we are an international collaborative community, I think that we should make the extra effort to be a bit more polite in how we deal with others and in pointing out problems/points of improvement especially on written medium where intention/emotion is not easy to convey (as Mikel pointed out).</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">~Eugene</div><div class="gmail_extra" dir="auto"><br></div></div>
