Autoupdate the map on the client-side

When more than one person is editing the same location, it will help to have a sense of changes being made by other users. One approach to this now could be to auto-refresh the browser each 5 minutes or so and get the updated dataset. We should also give an indication on the UI for long along the map was updated.

@ajithranka lets not refresh the browser, this will disrupt the mapping process. Just fetching the dataset again and updating the geojson source will rerender the map silently without the users knowledge.

oooh yeah.

Low priority

[planemad]

@bsrinivasa how important do you feel this is since we have task boundaries?

[bsrinivasa]

@planemad Yes. This might not be a priority at the moment.

But, While reviewing TRs using blocks, it is a general tendency to move to any of the adjacent blocks. As we do not have an efficient way of tasking manager to check the assignments, it is a bit hard to find who is working on a block from a huge list of entries from spreadsheet(Example: 600 entries for SF) which is sorted with reference to single axis and harder in case of textb (Example) or hackpad.

As the user don't see the highlights of reviewed TRs worked by other, there is a high chance of spending time on it reviewing it again.
