Unfortunately, I see little evidence of change, planned changes, and recognition of many of these various CV issues from staff. While I could write one big comment summarizing many issues or just my thoughts. It feels I have already done that and I’m not sure there is much of a point anymore. Multiple threads have been made regarding various but largely connected issues with the CV. But most with few if any engagements from staff, especially who work on / develop the CV.
What I can say is, i’m exhausted from dealing with the CVs problems with no staff help, support, or official routes to deal with certain issues. One shouldn’t need to spend over 20-30 hours cleaning a single taxon because the CV was allowed to misidentify that taxon for years creating a pile of 3000+ observations, majority incorrect. As time goes on, certain feedback loops will grow ever larger and unmanageable by a single person, unless that person spends a substantial amount of time and effort, almost like a 9-5 job. Even so, how long would it take to correct 40k observations?
There are real issues brought up here and in other CV problem posts. Almost none have been addressed.
One noteworthy post is here. https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/cv-suggestions-have-gotten-much-much-worse-at-san-jacinto-mountain/68136/15?u=zoology123
But it seems this is a bug, rather than how the CV intentionally is set up.
