We can imagine all sorts of tools but they won't matter as long as some circles remain in the mindset that sowing the seeds is the end of the process and the subsequent gardening doesn't matter. Instead of feeding newbies into task manager operations, show them a few specific classes of easy errors (such as Osmose's "overlapping buildings", "building intersects with highway" or "crossing highways") and let them clean up a zone. Only then let them add buildings - with enhanced quality awareness. No new tool needed - only a different focus. If one needs number to report back to donors, then integrate this sort of thing with the task manager - and explain to donors how erroneous data is sharply negative value, that an error corrected is even better value than a new datum and that for their money to have actually usable impact it needs some share to be allocated to quality control. _______________________________________________ HOT mailing list HOT@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/hot
