Pierre,
A help channel or some form social help channel would be good, but in
order to ask for help, the mapper needs to realise they are doing
something wrong, or don't know how to do something.
The new mappers in this thread are consistently asking for someone to
check their work, and provide feedback so they know what to do to
improve. The validation process is good for this as well as quality
control - but it would be nice if we made it easier for the new mapper
to receive the comments, and if needed for the validator to pass them.
I don't know if it is easily achievable, but perhaps a system where the
validators comments are more easily available to the mapper, unless they
opt to not receive them. I know that MSF & BRC were keen to offer help,
and I know that the few mappers that have replied to this thread are
asking for this feedback.
It would be good if more mappers replied, especially if they are new, so
we have an idea as to whether it is worth investigating further.
Regards
Nick (Tallguy)
