Description

Currently the zoom level used to show a task seems to be fixed and defined in the challenge config. But sometimes there are challenges where the task have different geometrical extent. Think about multipolygons of forests or so. They can by tiny or huge. It would be nice to be able to set the zoom level to "auto" and Maproulette will then choose the right zoom level.

Research direction

Start with the challenge configuration and the code that selects the zoom level when showing a task. Check how the task geometry extent is available, then define the auto behavior for small and large multipolygons. Done when a challenge can opt into auto zoom and task display chooses a suitable level for both extents.
