[talk-ph] Help fix the road network in the Philippines with MapRoulette challenges

Thu Oct 1 21:29:31 UTC 2020

Hi Andrew,

Please refer to the following three tasks (note that I have already fixed
these, but the history/data should still be accessible in MapRoulette):
https://maproulette.org/challenge/14203/task/62821584
https://maproulette.org/challenge/14203/task/62821585
https://maproulette.org/challenge/14203/task/62821586

These three tasks all have the same instructions: "Duplicate Highway found
for way id 245363417. Overlapping way id(s) 245363412."

The instructions are the same because they each refer to different
overlapping segments (a line segment between two nodes) of the same two
ways, but with different pairs of endpoint nodes.

It would be great for future overlapping ways challenges if these can be
combined into just one task. But as noted by Erwin, it is okay if the task
generation process remains the same (especially if it makes it too
complicated on Apple's side) because we can use MapRoulette's multi-task
widget to select these and work on them all at once. So please consider my
suggestion as a nice-to-have and not as a must-have.

Thanks!
Eugene
