8 | | * track time spent editing in JOSM, |
9 | | * make a permanent record of the editing time for each changeset, in the form of a Rovas work report, |
10 | | * earn a community currency Chron for the JOSM work. Use the currency to reward other volunteers, or convert it in Rovas into Euros. |
| 8 | * **track time** spent editing in JOSM, |

| 10 | * **earn the NEO currency Chron** for the JOSM work. Use the currency to reward other volunteers, or convert it in Rovas into Euros. |
13 | | * in order to create a work report in Rovas and earn Chrons, the plugin-created reports must be verified. To do so, Rovas picks two users and sends them an email invitation. The email contains link to a web site (most likely osmcha.org or a derivative), where they can see the changes made in the changeset and optionally also confirm, or reject the reported labor time. Consequently, edits of every changeset are seen by at least two users, which should improve quality of the OSM database data. |
14 | | * having a reliable and verified record of time spent by OSM mappers can improve funding of the whole OSM ecosystem. For example, the total labor time, tallied from the individual work reports as shown on the [https://rovas.app/openstreetmap/ Openstreetmap project page in Rovas] can be used to provide potential sponsors with verified data about mapping effort exerted by volunteer mappers. The time record can also serve as an instrument to incentivize commercial consumers of the OSM data to reciprocate and reward the OSM community with much needed funds. These can be used to improve the server infrastructure or financially support mapping efforts across the globe. |
