With the release of Tasking Manager v4.7.2, an exciting new experimental feature for live monitoring data generated in mapping projects has been introduced. If you have any questions regarding this feature or the data, please contact @emi420.
π₯ related discussions:
Live monitoring lets you track data generated for your mapping projects in near real-time. You can follow your project's progress, spot potential issues as they happen, and ensure that the data being generated is accurate and reliable.
No, the live monitoring feature is limited to projects in five specific countries: Bangladesh, Malawi, Ecuador, Morocco, and Nigeria.
Yes, live monitoring is available to all logged-in users who have expert mode turned on. This option is available right below the contributions timeline
section.
Check Your Profile Settings: Make sure you have expert mode enabled in your profile settings.
Log Out and Log Back In: Sometimes, logging out and then logging back in can refresh your session and allow access to the feature.
Hard Refresh: Perform a hard refresh on your browser. This can help ensure you are seeing the latest updates and changes on the page.
Live monitoring is currently only available for projects in specific countries as it is an experimental feature. We are focusing on a limited set of projects to gather feedback and fine-tune the feature before potentially expanding its availability.
The primary data source for live monitoring in this project is the data collected from Underpass work. This data serves as the foundation for tracking mapping projects and ensuring the information being gathered is accurate and reliable.

We're making our next release to introduce two key enhancements to the download services feature launched in January 2024!
π Enable Count Tracking for Export Downloads: With this enhancement, we'll gain deeper insights into the popularity and usage of exports by project, file formats, and feature type. This invaluable data will allow us to prioritize features more effectively, ensuring we're constantly improving the download services experience.
π Widening Criteria for Data Exports: Currently, published projects with user activity for tasks in the last 24 hours have exports refreshed at 12 AM UTC. In this release, we're broadening the criteria for data exports to include user engagement in project chat sections. This means exports refresh will be based on user activity in tasks and project Q&A, providing a more comprehensive and responsive export service.
We hope these enhancements further streamlines your workflow. We can't wait for you to try them out! Stay tuned for the release, and as always, thank you for your invaluable feedback and support.

We're thrilled to unveil a groundbreaking feature in the first release of 2024 for Tasking Manager: the ability to download OSM Data directly for a project's mapping area! π
Each Tasking Manager project now boasts a dedicated Download OSM Data
section, providing seamless access to pre-generated base map feature exports in GeoJSON, KML, and SHP formats.
This enhancement takes inspiration from the flexibility offered by HOT's Export Tool.
Absolutely! These exports are accessible to everyone, with or without a Tasking Manager login.
Initially, exports were generated for all Tasking Manager projects in the second week of January 2024. Going forward, we're committed to refreshing the exports daily at 12 AM UTC, exclusively for published projects with user activity in the last 24 hours.
The data is exported from OpenStreetMap into a database managed by the HOT environment. We then clip it by project boundaries and filter it based on each project's mapping type. To keep the data current for active projects, we employ a combination of the raw-data-api and the tm-extractor script, running seamlessly every day.
For any questions about the codebase and data, your primary contact is @kshitijrajsharma.

After our last deployment, we have had users report about difficulties in accessing draft and private projects in spite of having the requisite project management access. This has come from a previous work on refactoring react queries for the frontend, and our test case is not complete at the moment to capture this beforehand.
Lessons learnt: Ensure there is automated smoke testing is in place for the frontend and complete unit and integration testing for the backend.

This release is mainly focused on switching the statistics source to ohsomeNow stats API.
Tasking Manager tool provides high level OpenStreetMap contribution metrics under three sections:
My Contributions
sectionData points for these three sections currently comes from two different sources:
Leaderboard API has not been functional since mid-September 2023 affecting the data availability for Tasking Manager. Due to this, you might have seen most of the OpenStreetMap data points indicated as 0
within Tasking Manager.
With this release, we will switch to ohsomeNow Stats API as a source for all OpenStreetMap statistics β¨. You will be able to see all the updated stats under My Contributions
section. Points of interest mapped and km road mapped are reflected with -
as the data is not being updated. We will be looking at updating these in the future.
