And let's underline that Frederik's remark is not semantic nitpicking in a
vacuum: in the context of HOT's campaigns the quality vs. quantity issue
has quite a track record.

Integrating within the task manager the tracking of the quantity of Osmose
defects would go some way towards addressing the monitoring of actual
quality. Tying a selection of Osmose errors categories to the "validation"
step would help make it an actual validation rather than a formal
rubberstamp - doesn't even need to be mandatory, it just needs to be made
visible. Actual quality assurance tools are just there within arm's
reach...
