[Incubator] Projects: Adding HOTOSM tools

Tue Dec 6 03:07:58 PST 2022

Hi Jody,

Apologies for the delay. Please see information below and let me know if
this is sufficient to add the HOT Tasking Manager? Any suggestions for
improvements in the documentation are always welcome!

*1. Does your README.md mention some kind of mapping / spatial activity? *
*Yes, in the README.md we say "The most popular tool for teams to
coordinate mapping on OpenStreetMap". Let me know if that is
sufficient? hotosm/tasking-manager: Tasking Manager - The tool to team up
for mapping in OpenStreetMap (github.com)
<https://github.com/hotosm/tasking-manager>*
*2. The LICENSE.md file should be one of the OSI approved ones*
 We are using BSD 2-Clause License: tasking-manager/LICENSE.md at develop ·
hotosm/tasking-manager (github.com)
<https://github.com/hotosm/tasking-manager/blob/develop/LICENSE.md>
*3. Do you have a CONTRIBUTING.md file (asking others to contribute and
sharing how you like to collaborate), or do you have pull requests showing
evidence of playing nice with others :) *
*Yes, this is actually something I have been focusing on. here are the
contributing guidelines: tasking-manager/contributing.md at develop ·
hotosm/tasking-manager (github.com)
<https://github.com/hotosm/tasking-manager/blob/develop/docs/contributing.md>.
This year we also started monthly Meet ups with the tech & user community
and people got involved in adding issues as well as testing new features on
our staging site. We do have a few contributors as well- see some examples
here
<https://github.com/hotosm/tasking-manager/pulls?q=is%3Apr+author%3Azlavergne>
and here <https://github.com/hotosm/tasking-manager/pull/5366>.*

Look forward to hearing back!

Petya
