[HOT] HOT Tech announcement | December 17th
Hello Humanitarian OpenStreetMappers, This is the last Tech Announcement of 2020 and we have some great news... *Tasking Manager 4.2.3 released* This week we released the version 4.2.3 of Tasking Manager. The main new feature of this release is the possibility to filter projects a user can map or validate, based on the project and user permissions. The goal of this new feature is to direct users to projects they can actually contribute and make the experience of using TM more fluid. Other highlights of this release are wider browser support and a message asking mappers to read previous comments if the task they are mapping was invalidated previously. Check out other enhancements in the release notes <https://github.com/hotosm/tasking-manager/releases/tag/v4.2.3>. *10,000 projects milestone* Tasking Manager just hit 10,000 hosted projects! Big shout out to everyone past, present and future for all of their immense efforts and everyone who has contributed to its development and growth. *Welcome to hot_tech…* As everyone is well aware, we have been afforded an ‘Audacious’ opportunity to welcome some impressive new talent into the fold. I was once told never to assume you're the smartest in the room and with the addition of these four new team members, I know for sure that I am not. Read more about our new members in this blog post <https://www.hotosm.org/tech-blog/welcome-to-hot-tech-dot-dot-dot/>. -- Wille Marcel Product Owner at Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team https://www.hotosm.org ___ HOT mailing list HOT@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/hot
[HOT] HOT Tech announcement | December 2nd
Hello Humanitarian OpenStreetMappers, Get updated with the latest news from the HOT Tech Team. *Tasking Manager 4.2.2 released* Every two weeks we have a new version of Tasking Manager! This week, a new version brings improvements to the project search by mapping type. For example, you can search all projects that have the “Buildings” type activated or you can force an exact match, so you’ll have projects whose only type is buildings. The same apply when searching by multiple mapping types. The content of the home page and of the Learn page <https://tasks.hotosm.org/learn> received improvements too, the custom editor configuration got easier, and we fixed a couple of bugs. Check out the full release notes <https://github.com/hotosm/tasking-manager/releases/tag/v4.2.2>. *Is Tasking Manager translated to your language?* Some days ago the HOT Indonesia team finished the translation of Tasking Manager to Bahasa Indonesia! Tasking Manager is already available in 18 languages, currently 11 of those have more than 90% of the messages translated. We use transifex <https://hotosm.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/J/pages/680722433/STATEMENT+OF+WORK+-+HOTOSM+EXPORT+TOOL> to manage the translations. In case you need some help to make TM available in a language you speak, we have available a Machine Translation resource, so you would only have to review the translation. Please send us an email if you would like to try this resource. -- Wille Marcel Product Owner at Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team https://www.hotosm.org ___ HOT mailing list HOT@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/hot
