[OSM-talk] What would make MapRoulette better?

[Marc Gemis]

Martijn,

I'll agree with Yuri that is has to be the choice of the mapper to
work in a specific region and not the challenge creator. I don't want
to ask each challenge creator to split up the challenge in smaller
chunks, just because I feel uncomfortable editing outside a certain
area. This area can also be different from challenge to challenge and
from mapper to mapper.

You already have a view where you show the individual tasks within a
challenge. One can pick a task from this view right now, but after
marking the task as completed, a completely random one is chosen
again.

For me, it would be sufficient to have a button/switch on the screen
with all individual tasks that switches to "only tasks from the
current bounding box". Would that be feasible ?

One solution would be to filter by challenge ‘centroids’ (simple), another would be to consider whatever challenge has at least one task within the current map bounds (harder). What would be your idea about this? Others with an opinion?
