Hi All, We didn't run into any major problems in Vietnam, though we were using the Tasking Manager and mostly kept people from editing in the same area.
The team in Indonesia recently mentioned a preference from people to use iD as well. Which is interesting since it isn't currently available in Indonesian I don't believe. One issue here though is we frequently use custom presets. Is there any plan for having an ability like that similar to JOSM? I understand we could fork iD and create our own version, but the real power is just sending people to OSM.org and they start editing.
