[HOT] Tasking Manager V2 and Project Managers rights

Mon Oct 6 22:03:07 UTC 2014

Hi Severin

I am interested to discuss too. I don't think this has been otherwise covered in depth. Isn't the Activation WG the right place?

What you suggested a couple messages back sounds good. OSMTM users needing Project Manager status get in touch with Administrators. Administrator gives instruction to new PM on the process. And then introduce new Project Managers to the current ones ... possibly on another email list, or through some messaging function in the OSMTM itself.

(To that point :) I made Patrick Choquette a project manager last week. https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/hot/2014-October/006179.html)

This does all suggest improvements to the users page on the OSMTM, which was flagged as ideal self contained project for a new developer to OSMTM

I would be interested to discuss about it, and know about the current way to add new project managers, I have sincerely no clue what is the process and when it has been discussed within the community. Sorry if I missed the thread, would be kind to provide the link to the documentation about this, I am regularly asked about this topic and cannot answer.

>>I propose that the Project Managers still promote new Project Managers, but now would briefly introduce the people they promoted to the HOT community, and following these people would introduce themselves to the community (and could take the opportunity to put this description on their OSM profile) and explain what areas (can be from national down to neighborhood scale) their future TM jobs would cover. Would be a good way to know better who does what and where. And if a new Project Manager spoils the TM and complicates the Administrators tasks, the latter will be able  to ask the promoters (easy to find in the email archive who they are) to teach their nominees.

>>>Yes, there were acknowledged issues with the previous permissions system. There are administrators, who can change user permissions; and project managers, who can create jobs. We should discuss how to manage this now, in the Activation Working Group perhaps. For the time being, contact an administrator (pgiraud only for the moment) to add new project managers.
