Re: [HOT] Tasking Manager - Comments

[Blake Girardot]

Hi Mike,

No, only automatically for "invalidated" but when you validate, you can 
type an '@' and then the user's name and they will get a message in the 
tasking manager with the comment.


For user names with spaces, you have put the full username in [ ]'s if 
the auto complete does not locate it after typing the part before the space.


@[blake girardot] but just @bgirardot and as I said, there is auto 
complete so about half the time a two word name shows up and you can 
just select it from the pop down list.


You can also @ more than one person if more than one person contributed 
to the task square. @name1 @name2 etc.


Also, note, that in JOSM, there is an "authors" panel you can display 
because often a square will be all or partially mapped by someone other 
than the person who marked it done, especially with new mappers.


I usually search in josm for building=* and look in the authors panel to 
see who mapped the buildings (or whatever feature I am sending feedback 
about) just to make sure I am @'ing the right person(s).


Cheers,
Blake

good thing if the user would get positive feedback.

Yes but it clutters up the messages.  Do you really want to say well done
to someone with 5,000+ OSM edits to their name?

In general I message the new ones with feedback, first five get something,
after that you get nudged if your work doesn't follow the instructions or
the wiki guidelines.  Something like added 43 settlements.  The message
gets through.

Squaring buildings isn't really a big deal there is a wiki somewhere with
how to validate that has the keystrokes, if you find one not square in JOSM
select buildings nodes:-7 I think it is, select user within then hit the q
key.  For the amount of effort to square them in iD I don't think its
really worth it when I can square a hundred in a few seconds.

I might mention JOSM and the building plugin would square your buildings
and be faster.

[HOT] Tasking Manager - Comments

When a task is validated does the user who marked the task as complete get
a message?  I know if a task is invalidated they do.  In some cases there
are only minor issues with a task, such as a building wasn't squared so I
just fix it and validate the task, but it would still be good to provide
some feedback such as "Good job, remember to square all buildings next
time." Even if a task was done perfectly it would be a good thing if the
user would get positive feedback.
