-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I think this is a good idea, a sort of 'tiered' priveledge system. New users can only map new tiles, then after completing 5 tiles or so they can move on to validating, etc. We could also look at data such as how many changesets the user has in total (maybe they are new to the TM but have thousands of edits on OSM). There is also how long ago they registered on OSM, and so on. We could easily develop some kind of a 'experience score' based on these criteria, and then allow that to unlock the more experienced TM functionality.
None of this though detracts from what myself and Pierre are saying about better validation in general, not just in the TM but using other tools as well. - -AndrewBuck On 04/28/2015 05:04 AM, Severin Menard wrote: > Hi, > > We could also make slightly evolve the Tasking Manager and create > an "experienced mapper" privileges status who would be required to > have access to the validate/unvalidate steps and can promote any > other mapper to this status, because she/he knowsher/him and trust > her/his skills.
