Greetings, I have also reached out to the person responsible for the projects both originally when brought up and just again today, but not heard back from them yet. Should I not hear back from the project creator today or tomorrow, I will probably temporarily remove the projects and the person who created the projects permissions to manage projects on the HOT Tasking Manager until they check in and we can be sure there is a plan in place to make sure the mappers on the project are doing a good job and the data is good quality.
We should also remember that people who create projects do not always have any control or input on who contributes to the projects they create, but they should obviously be concerned data quality either way. It should also be noted, that HOT has a two step process that reviews all mapping, we call it validation, and that is typically where these kinds of issues get identified and feedback to the mappers is made. Anyone can participate in the validation process and experienced OSM mappers and folks who like to help new mappers in OSM are encouraged to be a part of that process. It is not a perfect process, but we are always working to make that process go better and more quickly to try and catch stuff like this as soon as possible. And, finally, I will note that when this was first raised, I dove right in and started to look at the data and make corrections and give feedback. But as soon as I spent time making fixes just to hit conflicts on upload because people were reverting, I stopped.
