Very good points you brought up Dan.
I feel very strongly about the #2 point about adding a statistic for
validators, it does take effort to browse the tiles properly. I sometimes
end up adding a few missing buildings or landuse areas if they are only a
few minor missing features.
Hopefully those
Hi Daniel,
This makes much sense.
Do you have a github account? If so, please create an issue and copy
paste your message there.

This is kind of a very subtle point, but I have written about it before:
I find it difficult to validate tiles because they so often need more
work and are not really "done".
That leaves me with these choices:
1. Do the mapping myself, which I usually do, but then I have less time
for vali
'incomplete' instead of 'invalid'?
I'll be honest, I've never validated a task b/c I thought you needed a
certain level of 'certification' (even informally).

"Needs another look?" maybe, both incomplete and invalid are slightly
negative. I like the idea of sending someone a more positive message when
their tiles have been validated, could it include the comment by the
validator?

It's an interesting discussion and one that we have fairly frequently.
At the mapathons we run in London, whoever is doing the training is careful
to make clear that volunteers should mark squares as done once they think
they are done. They are reassured that when a validator goes over their

I wonder if this has been discussed before - and I apologized if it
has - would it be a viable idea to add a slider or a percentage drop
down menu for the mapper to select the amount of work that still needs

And just to go off at a tangent has anyone thought about tapping into old
people's homes? Some residents are mentally alert and it might help keep

Hello,
Cheers to Blake and Dan for articulating all I have been feeling
about doing validations.
I do think that new terminology is needed ("invalidated" -- ugh!).
Why not just change it to "needs more mapping"? We don't need a single
word.
Also, it would be good to have a
