HOT Tasking Manager: The Road Ahead
summary
Tasking Manager is a decade-old open source platform that has coordinated 11K+ projects across 158 countries and enabled ~300K mappers to add ~127M buildings and 2.6M km of highways to OSM. Recent work stabilized version 4 (May 2020) and formed a core dev team plus Kathmandu Living Labs; short-term plans prioritize OSMCha and Rapid/MapR integrations, real-time data quality monitoring (Underpass proof of concept), tighter field‑to‑remote workflows and community contributions via GitHub and monthly working groups.
