[HOT] Activation WG log of discussion, nov.1 at 14:00 GMT

[Pierre Béland]

The log of the discussion is at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Humanitarian_OSM_Team/Working_groups/Activation/meeting_2013-11-01

The Tasking Manager was the main topic of today discussion. 
Development of the Tasking Manager V2 is underway. It can be seen at http://tasksv2.dev.hotosm.org/ 

Suggestion has been made to integrate a Crowdsource Image 
Recognition tool such as Kuona or Mapmill into the Task Manager. What is interesting about this discussion is that it opens the possibility to 
coordinate /centralize the redistribution of various Tasks types in the 
Task Manager and redirect it to the appropriate tool. 


Other discussions were related to the redisign of the Tasking 
Manager and the coordination of mappers. The Wiki pages are an other 
important part of coordination. A specific button could be added on top 
of each task to redirect to the wiki page.  IRC has been discussed 
again. There are propositions to bring an IRC in each Task where the 
history of discussions would be kept. This is not to replace the general discussions on the #HOT IRC, but to support the mappers working on the 
specific tasks. 

Pierre Giraud, the main developper of the Task ManagerI would be happy to chat again about the interface usability issues. Your comments on the Activations in general are also welcomed. The next Activation WG should be in about in a week or two.

Objet : [HOT] Activation Working group discussion, nov.1 at 14:00 GMT
 


I propose to meet tomorrow, nov.1 for an hour and to make the point about various aspects of activations. There is also a new Test version of the Tasking Manager. This is an important coordination tool for activations and various mapping projects and it would be also a good subject of discussion.

Meeting on the #hot IRC irc://irc.oftc.net/hot, friday nov 1. from 14:00 to 15:00 GMT.
See this url for your local time http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=%23HOT+IRC+Activation+WG&iso=20131101T14&ah=1 

The Test version of Tasking Manager Version 2 is at  http://tasksv2.dev.hotosm.org/ 
This new version offers the ability to translate in various languages.
 Various other enhancements are also proposed and some features like the Workflow are removed. I invite you to test it and make comments related to your experience with this tool.

 

Pierre
