Comments: "Infrastructure, infrastructure, infrastructure!"

Anyway..this is not the right way to communicate with your users and with your area managers that are spending their precious time on mapping and managing the maps.

The problem is not the Blackberry version...the problem is the way that the Waze management team is making decisions and the way that they are communicating with all the area managers around the world , among other things and issues.

I second that from Shmupi, I'm not expecting the Waze people to respond to the thousands of threads and every topic. It should be solved by us, the superusers here in the forum like GiffGaff is doing it in the UK (it's a MVNO Telco, they have no support, just a forum kept by their users alone).

But in order for that to work they need to figure out a structured way how the Area Managers and Country Managers in the world can be updated and a two-way communication can be setup. Maybe a challenge for your corp comm department?

Remind you about what I posted, 1% of the people on Waze (probably more 0,01%) are doing 90% of the edits and keep this going!

I'm switching between both editors all the time, copying the permalinks (tedious) from one to to ...

Use the bookmarklets provided by the guys for switching between editors. Very very useful. You can find them in another thread. Sorry for not directly linking to that thread; I am posting from my mobile.

Bookmarklets. Yes. Use.

EDIT: Don't use my link's bookmarklets, use Alan's wikilink's instead. "Them marklets more up to date"

Bookmarklets. Yes. Use.

Hey all,
thank you for the comments (especially a4xrbj1). I think you each bring up valid points of which we are aware. That being said, we are hiring/developing/testing/deploying as fast as we can and need to prioritize the needs of editing, driving (including Android), scaling etc. We are not always perfect but are trying to balance the different needs.

As Ehud said - we have a lot going on so please give us 2 months and then lets regroup and see how things have progressed.

Thank you for the feedback and support!

Double post double post lool

No, seriously, thanks for listening and wish you the best.

To close this thread for me, I'll put my top priority I wish you work on at this stage: fixing the map editor.

Kind regards,

Mohammad

You almost posted before I deleted the double post. Not quite, though.

Imagine an ongoing game of soccer or any other sport.
During the match, suddenly some rules are changed or not applied any more.
Some team still get points, others do not. And the orignal rules are not "working" any more.
But nobody knows exactly which rules are still valid, which rule will be "out of order" for a certain time and when the rule will apply again.

Is this a fair game?
This is what happened with waze points ranking!

Many people did not get their points any more for "infrastucture" reasons.
Others just found some tricks which points still are credited.
And those could rise their ranking with huges steps.

After all, the situation is unfair, plus big frustration.
You do hours of map edditing and get no points at certain times.
And you know the whole story...

It is time to restart the points.
Close the ranking at the end of the year. Give some honors to the winners "Best Wazer 2011".
And restart at 0 points for a new challenge with a working point system and clear rules on 1.1.2012.

I guess, it could spice up the thing again

You're going to disenfranchise an awful lot of early adopters (of which I consider myself one) if this goes ahead. I can see an argument to create a yearly and/or monthly leaderboard certainly but removing the All-time board is a no-go for me!
