[HOT] Projects on the HOT OSM Tasking Manager - lots of them

[Dale Kunce]

John, I think that is something to consider. Can you submit that as an
issue on the TM PM github. https://github.com/hotosm/osm-tasking-manager2

Many projects are around 30-50% complete and never seem to get over the
hurdle to finish up. Overall I don't think its a problem of getting
projects higher on the page but of TM Project Managers actually working to
make sure tasks are completed within a reasonable time.

For instance, the two projects at the top of the TM current list are both
several months old and have extremely low participation rates. Projects
such as these need more love from their PMs and the HOT community to make
sure that they are completed. If a project is created with a high level of
priority those PMs and the HOT community should make every effort to
complete the task as fast as possible.

When TM PMs are making tasks it would be really good to try and create an
area that can be completed within a time that would be worthwhile. Projects
that sit around at 40% for months are not useful for folks on the ground as
there are gaps an inconsistencies that make the data problematic for
decision making.
