I raised this as a feature request (
https://github.com/hotosm/osm-tasking-manager2/issues/979) for further
discussion, with some really basic mockups.

This is acceptable to OpenStreetMap.  Adding additional information is
easier to a node with things such as osmand etc.

> -residential areas are drawn for less than three buildings

Although many projects have this in the instructions I'm not sure that
drawing one for two buildings is an error by OpenStreetMap standards.

Re: [HOT] Feedback about the Tasking Manager

[Michelle Schmitz]

Adding onto Arne's comments - I've seen these errors occur on various
projects, too. Would it be possible to add extra information (especially
pictures!) to the wiki page for validation, so people are aware of how
these kinds of errors look graphically - and (maybe) how they can be
suggested to be fixed?

Re: [HOT] Feedback about the Tasking Manager

[Arne Kimmig]

Hi Florian and all, 

Thanks a lot Florian, I was also thinking about giving a similar feedback for 
the Aweil project. I support Florian's suggestions and below I added some more 
detailed comments about my observations during mapping.

I also think that TM is a great tool and in connection with Josm (I don’t know 
ID) I really enjoy mapping.

Best regards,

Arne


Errors I watched in the Aweil project

-buildings are marked as points and not traced
-buildings are not rounded or rectangular
-buildings get marked and tagged with additional information like 'residential'

-residential areas are drawn for less than three buildings
-residential areas are marked or tagged as building

-tasks are marked as done even if the mapper knows that residential areas are 
missing. Sometimes you find the comment 'did only buildings' or so.
-tasks are marked as done without any comment

Some questions that arose during my mapping in the Aweil project:

- What to do when I'm not sure if the structure is a building or not? Do not 
map it? Map it? Mark it with a fixme=confirm property?
- there are different styles mapping residential areas: some map narrowly 
around the buildings, others map them by clustering tukuls that are not to far 
apart (50m or 100m), and others map  big areas according to fences and 
geophysical borders. I know that there is no easy rule to define but there 
might some recommendations how to do it.
I myself started with narrow areas, then I was clustering somehow by distance 
and now I try to follow geophysical borders and fences.

Re: [HOT] Feedback about the Tasking Manager

[Donal Hunt]

+1 on the validation comments. I'd be more than happy to validate but
didn't know how to get started (and I'm conscious that not being a
calibrated validator would cause much pain for the organisations relying on
the data).

Would be great if there was a way for bootstrapping validators so they can
come up to speed quickly (some sort of feedback loop from experienced
validators / project leads would be useful I think).
