Yes Jaakko, very good advice. I would add that if you don't know to download the data first then you shouldn't be using JOSM or Mercator but stick with Potlatch2 as it automatically updates the data and is easier to use than the other editors. I always try to return to my edits after they've filtered through.

Upload early, upload often...

... or even better: always download the data in the area you are
submitting data for
-- unless you are very shure no one is working on it at the same time.

In any case I _always_ advice people to check the areas you have mapped
after you have uploaded (update data in JOSM, check the map a day, two
or few after to see that nothing's fucked up as per what the rendering
shows, etc).

Cheers,

    But in this case you take the risk someone else is also editing
    these other box/grids/squares in the same time. And finally we get
    these duplicates you noticed :)

        BTW on the subject of editing grids, personally I don't always
        stay in
        the box, if I'm mapping a river or road then I'll follow it to it's
        logical or prectical conclusion, also any polygons I will
        complete even
        if they take me further a field.  I see no benefit in adding
        incomplete
        data in the db.
