[HOT] [Tasking Manager] enhancements - testers required

[Pierre GIRAUD]

Hi all, especially the tasking manager users,

I've been working on an enhancement for the tasking manager for a while
now. I think it's almost ready, but I would like to have your thoughts and
feedback.
I don't want to impose something that people find useless or with which
they don't feel confident. If you don't feel like this is an enhancement,
well let's forget about it.

However, for the more enthusiastic, I invite you to go to the dev server
[1].

The most important (new) things to notice are:
 - tiles can be accessed in a read-only mode,
 - with this in mind, tiles url (in the address bar) can be used to be
shared to someone else. This might be useful to use a tile as reference in
a discussion between mappers,
 - you need to explicitly lock the tile before working on it,
 - comments are now required when marking a task as done or (in)validating
one,
 - users have access to the tile change history.

Please write down any problems you see and your good or bad feelings.

Thanks.

Off topic question:
I'm not sure how important the locking is when an advanced user wants to
(in)validate the work done on a job.
How about allowing validation without any lock. Or maybe we should rethink
the validation process.
Any thoughts?

Pierre
