The tasking server allows mappers to select an area to map. Others can see which areas have been mapped and which have not. The goal being increased coordination and reduced duplication.
There are several mapping tasks currently, including Sydney, kindly hosted by Simon Poole. http://rebuild.poole.ch/job/8 I see that ten users are mapping in Sydney with the tasking server, in addition to the others mapping "freestyle". :-) I find the tasking server helpful in focusing my efforts. I take my "assigned" area, open it in an editor with the links that are provided, then edit. The workflow "burden" of the tasking server is to provide a comment when you complete each area. Give it a try. If you have an area that wants more attention from remote mappers, submit a task to the server. _______________________________________________ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
