[HOT] Tasking Manager - Un-gridded jobs

[Pierre GIRAUD]

I have been owning a mac for 1 week now, and I don't have any problem
drawing a polygon. The OpenLayers default way to draw features is
different from the one of JOSM though.
Something that is probably not obvious: you need to click on the "draw" button.
Sorry, the UX is really bad for now.

Some comments below.

Would something like max ratio between the task and job areas be a
good way to check it?

Hum. I need to think a bit a more about it.
I really like the idea that user draw the area he wants to work on.
Contributors are mappers right?
Maybe, admin users can draw areas to be randomly picked.
