OSM Teams integration

[kamicut]

Hey 👋

At SOTMUS 23, we presented https://mapping.team, OSM Teams v2.0. It allows community managers to organize their mappers into teams, and then integrate those teams into various applications without having to enter a team multiple times. We're currently integrating with the tasking manager hotosm/tasking-manager#5575 and OSMCha in the near future.

After talking with @mvexel I think that we could work on integrating teams with Maproulette. I think we first need #1876 to be resolved, and then we would need to figure out if we want to do a 1-way sync or a 2-way sync between the Maproulette UI and the OSM Teams API server.

Let us know what you think and how we can help!

#1876 has been closed for a bit now.
@kamicut it's been a while since I looked at OSM Teams, could you describe in a bit more detail how this integration would work at a high level? I see that the last release of Teams was over a year ago and the HOT TM integration you mention is not merged yet. So perhaps the first question is how alive this project is? Are there any other integrations that are currently active?

Moving this back to the backlog pending reporter input

Hello @mvexel, we'll be looking at making some improvements to OSM Teams in the coming year - we have a backlog of work to improve the user experience and we'll actively be working on it in 2025. We don't have immediate plans for this integration, but it is on our list of new features. We will keep you in the loop for this future work. cc @batpad @LanesGood

That's good to hear @kamicut
We will keep this open.
It's an interesting project.

@kamicut checking in on the status of OSM Teams -- is this worth pursuing right now in MapRoulette or should we wait to look into this?

In any case this is not something we would pick up in the immediate term, but it would be good to hear about the status of the project so we can plan ahead.

Hey @mvexel - unfortunately we were not able to allocate some resources towards OSM Teams backlog since we last spoke. However when it comes to integration with MapRoulette, I'm sure I can figure out a way to allocate some time. Should we have a call to discuss this? cc @batpad
