I would like to recommend that you don't use the term "quality
monitoring tool" for this since you're measuring quantity not quality.
At best, I'd call it a tool that monitors "richness" or "completeness".

Simply counting how many features there are and how many of a
pre-defined list of tags each one has shouldn't be called "quality
monitoring", because there will be situations where the OpenStreetMap
community requests of project managers (who your web site claims to be
targeted at) that they implement some form of quality assurance; calling
your statistics tool a "quality monitoring" tool runs the risk of making
these people believe that quality requirements can be fulfilled by
ensuring that enough tags are set, which is definitely not what the
wider community would regard as a suitable quality assurance for a
humanitarian data entry project.

Bye
Frederik

[HOT] Tool update from HOT: MapCampaigner

[Nate Smith]

Hello again OSM community -

Sharing another update from HOT regarding tool development. Last week we
released a new version of a data quality monitoring tool called
MapCampaigner and want to share it more widely here. MapCampaigner is a
tool for tracking and evaluating data quality -- in the form of
completeness of OSM tags -- across an area: https://campaigns.hotosm.org

More details on the hotosm.org blog:
https://www.hotosm.org/updates/getting-to-grips-on-tag-quality-with-mapcampaigner/

To note a couple things as you look at the tool further:

* Anyone with an OSM username and create a campaign. We do limit the size
of the campaign because behind the scenes we're using an Overpass and are
limited by capacity to handle country-sized campaigns.

* Data updates on an hourly basis only when the campaign is in an active
state -- meaning that the end date is marked in the future.

* We'll be adding back the team tracking functionality in the future. We
wanted to get the updates live for people to use as quick as possible.
Expect to see some functionality added back over the next couple weeks as
we continue to develop.

If you have some feedback or are interested in helping support the
development, we'd be glad to have you join the conversation and contribute.
This month's HOT Tech Working Group
 meeting (Oct 2 @ 15:00
UTC) will be demo'ing MapCampaigner, reviewing the progress, and discussing
what's next.

Nate
