Bjoern, This slide deck is a fantastic resource. May I use it in our OSM workshops?

For example, at the Cambridge mapathons, we aimed to provide very concrete guidelines regarding how buildings should and should not be mapped, showing several good/bad examples. (The slides are on the drive: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1xFDiMaWRj1RBlXzVYlKp06yE2Ja9Q5rmD9-bPDp1TWo/edit#slide=id.g2326c0c777_5_273, see building mapping in iD). During the talk, we used to go through this quickly, but people would have the slides available (digitally) to check them in their own time. Maybe many other mapathons use similar slides, it may just be that I haven't seen them. I'd developed a demonstrator for a real-time tool a little while ago which (through overpass queries) monitored edits made during a mapathon, allowing the identification of users that aren't mapping, or aren't mapping as well as expected. Now, this was just a proof of concept, but IMHO people running a mapathon should have access to such a tool (properly developed), allowing them to spot problems then and there, i.e. spot newcomers who need a little extra help to get started, rather than only seeing these issues at validation stage. Crowdsourcing is great, but beginner mapping is not completely trivial - more discourse around effective training, offering the right tools, catching issues early etc would be good. I'd be quite happy to coordinate some action research around all this to help move the agenda forward (if there are people who can dedicate time to this so the effort per person is reasonable.)

This is counter productive as it would be quicker for the experienced mappers to map them but they are tied up checking and correcting so much. The entry point to mapping by beginners is mostly with the iD Editor. What I have been asking about for some time is a building tool in the iD Editor similar to the one in JOSM and your concerns about the quality problems highlights the fact that this new tool has become a matter of urgency. There has been talk about it being in development for over a year now. Can we not divert some funds to get someone to give this their urgent attention and solve many of our validating problems?
