Hi As a novice on HOT I would support Severin's suggestion for an "Experienced Mapper" status for validation. I have managed to complete about 36 Tasks to date, and have decided to concentrate on the Malawi flooding Tasks, although its High Priority status has been rather over taken by recent events. However, despite running for over 2 months only about 30% have been completed.
Of my tasks completed three have been validated, with useful supportive comments back from the validators (both of whom feature largely in the ongoing correspondence - which rather says something about the numbers available for validation). I have had two other task areas validated - one of which must be been someone hitting the completed button by mistake since only a couple of buildings and tracks had been plotted - no comments in box. The person who validated the second task for which my comment box indicated some work that still needed adding, added two buildings and then pressed the completed button but again left no comment. This task was their first recorded. I do believe that the validation process needs to provide feedback - not just on the technical quality - but also on things like the choice of highway status made etc. Andrew -- Andrew Patterson The information contained in this e-mail and any files transmitted with it is confidential and intended for the addressee only.
