<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Pierre, I suspect the number of QA-tool-driven changes are as big, if not much bigger than changes from the organized events and paid editing. I agree QA tools should be regulated, but are you sure we want to do it in the same document, and significantly increase the scope?<br><br></div>My understanding is that the original goal was to regulate paid editing and community events. Covering QA tools might make the doc too generic. It would have to take a detailed look at all existing tools, even including JOSM's validators -- if I edit a location (e.g. move a road), and the tool suggests additional edits in that location (e.g. change the tagging of a connected road), isn't that directed editing that was organized by the validation rule author? Plus the introduction, and a lot of text would have to be rewritten to dedicate as much space to the tools as to organized events and director's duties.<br><br></div>Just saying that the scope creep might make the statement less concise, and QA tools may need to be a separate document.<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Nov 21, 2017 at 9:44 PM, Pierre Béland <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:pierzenh@yahoo.fr" target="_blank">pierzenh@yahoo.fr</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div style="font-family:verdana,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><div><div>There is a constant increae of organized contributions from Task Managers on QA tools and I agree that this policy should include these various organized contributions.<br></div><div><br></div><div>There should be a goal assure the follow-up of these various projects to assure a better collective coordination of the mapping.</div><div><br></div><div>I am not sure that we could effectively have all organizers of Events create a wiki page.
