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

[Dale Kunce]

Ralf and John.
I don't either of you are ranting but providing good feedback that aligns
with my own thinking about tasks. I favor smaller tasks that can be
completed quickly rather than huge tasks that take multiple mappers to
complete.

One thing that I think we are moving towards is a set of guidelines for TM
PMs. This will standardize a lot of language and help keep tasks
manageable. I'm working on a draft that I'll share with the HOT and TM PM
lists once it's ready to share.

Thanks as always for your time.
