Better management of project list during disasters #893

Open bgirardot opened 7 years ago

Carefully manage the tasking manager task listing during large disaster events. People who join during these events don't tend to stay active for long, and their contributions tend to have a lower quality. Point them towards newcomer-friendly projects where they can make some early experiences.

From the mailing list discussion: my feeling is that it’s about initial training as much about providing a buffer for people who are just curious and want to click around a bit. Anything that redirects TV audiences to such an initial buffer is likely a win. Optimally, people who contribute well are then guided to further projects — for example as part of validator feedback.
