Currently there are tooltips in place that are displayed when you hover the cursor over the button. They give a pretty clear idea on what the buttons do:
- "Lock this task to tell other that you are currently working on it" - "Stop working on this task and unlock it. You may resume work on it again later." - "Mark this task as done if you have completed all items in the instructions." I think we should settle for "Start mapping" and "Stop mapping" for the button labels. -- Jarmo On 30.08.2015 15:18, Martin Dittus wrote: > A further consideration: the terms should express a sense of _why_ we’re > asking people to press these buttons.
