Hello all, I really appreciate all the replies on this matter. Probably it will be better if I add the context of why we work on this curriculum first. This curriculum is part of our strategy to improve OSM data quality, especially in Indonesia. In these past 4 years, we have trained more than 2,400 people all over Indonesia. Yet the training material largely focus on how to collect spatial data using OSM. There is little focus on quality assurance and validation, since it is hard to teach this material to people who just knew OSM. Another reason was if there is large scale disaster happened in Indonesia, we need pool of mappers as we also need pool of validators.
It is true that some of these materials have been discussed in different platforms (learnosm, teachosm, and course.hotosm.org) and these platform have been a great contribution for us to work on the curriculum. At the same time we need to ensure that the training materials will be applicable in Indonesian context. Therefore we also develop Indonesian tagging standard as a reference. About the audience as specified in the docs, probably "Prerequisite" would be a better word. It is expected that validators would understand about iD so that they can guide new user on how to map faster and better in iD (eg. using shortcuts and how to add additional tags). The use of Overpass is recommended, but we think that it would help their work better. I believe that this curriculum is more act as a guide for validators rather than the rule that they should follow. The needs for validators also true in Indonesia, that is why we develop this curriculum and we are planning to use it in our upcoming training and hopefully would add more validators throughout the countries. Furthermore, we hope that this curriculum would not only applicable in Indonesia, but it can be useful for others as well. Again, much appreciated for your response.
