Last year on the learning WG, we discussed about making videos tutorials but it
did not go further.
This discussion on video tutorials brings in a few questions.
For buildings, the best practice is to use JOSM. We should first make videos
for JOSM and I dont think that we should favor people using ID for example
until a building plugin is provided.
In videos, it is important that Texts on the menu bar be readable.
A Text section that describes action, key pressed for a specific function,
facilitates learning. For example :
- shortkey s Select features
- shortkey a Draw nodes and lines
- shortkey b Buildings
- shortkey x Surface making
I have seen various Tutorials with a detailed Table of contents and short
videos for each task, a few minutes maximum. I think that this is the best
approach. I wonder how verbose we should be.
A platform that facilitates translations should be used.

Objet : Re: [HOT] Video that Best Represents Our Work?
I intend to re-do this how-to I made in answer to a question on this
list a little while back:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=042TbopS7HM
It was done without much preparation and to answer some specific
questions so it needs some adjustments (and I make a mistake in mapping
if you look closely), but I think it is close to what you are talking
about for a quick description of mapping buildings.
It also uses iD as that is what the person who asked the question used
and it is what most new mappers will be using.
There should be one like it for JOSM as well which I will do.
I will also do a second one about roads in each editor.
Regards,
Blake
