Pierre,
I would not want to see a message sent to every mapper for every square,
only for those where I take an additional step of selecting the function
to send a message.

Sending a message for every task validated risk to irritate people.
Instead, let's bring a social plus learning function in this
CrowdSourcing Task Manager.
The best is to create a place of discussion (IRC like) directly
related to the task Manager. The Validation comments could also be
listed in this IRC. On the of the page, their could be a count of how
many contributors currently selected a task.
The mappers, validators and coordinators would then have a place of
discussion. This would play some social gathering function easily
accessible plus help support for beginners.

I wholeheartedly agree that an automated message that sends the comments
when a task is validated or invalidated would be great.
I really like feedback on the mapping I do.
Sort of related, I'd like to be able to subscribe to comments on a task
so I get an email every time someone comments on a task I have
subscribed to (probably because I have worked on it).
I am a new mapper so I have not seen a lot of tasks and do not know how
often comments on tasks are used, but the tasks I work on, I try to
comment as often and helpfully as I can.
Thank you for bringing up this idea.
Regards,
Blake Girardot
