Dear All,
There have been two responses to mine about a building editor. I apologize for
the confusion and I do not advocate for a separate building, nor does anyone
else. I’ve moved my discussion to the appropriate slack channel. Thank you
for the links.
Best,

Hi all,
I think people interested in the subject of a building tool in iD should
read a few pages (if not already found and read):
- View of the maintener
https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/issues/528#issuecomment-346234741
- First coding attempt https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/pull/2699

Can this be packaged up in a format that cynical OSM mappers can absorb?
I'm thinking not glossy with smiling faces but a note in their OSM diary
that we can draw to the attention of OSMWEEKLY. Possibly through a post on
the osmtalk titled something like "local mapping after HOT"?

Apologies for going back to an earlier point, but i think yes there are
examples. The OSM Bangladesh crew, while not without original, local
catalysts, had a resurgence after a HOT project with MSF. While the project
was very successful (and has had impact in terms of medical care in

The problem with Bjorn's idea is unfortunately anyone can lead a
maperthon. The HOT Training group meets regularly and at least one of the

Dear friends,
I do think that quality assurance is important. That doesn't mean just
assuring how objects are mapped, but also quality assuring training and
mapathons. From my perspective (specialising in adult education) I'd say
there's a fair few things that could be done to improve outcomes fro
It seems like there is a need for a specialized "buildings editor". Yes
JOSM building_tools beats iD now, but how about making a new web based
editor that addresses the problems you highlight:
* Can only enter buildings
* Uploads (& downloads) frequently. Potlatch used to upload as soon as

I accept what you say Ralph but the motorcycle project is being run by an
conventional European or North American NGO. It's organised mapping.
>The result will be a dedicated group in each country that will continue
the work, train more local people and expand the mapping community.
So is there
John,
I am not sure what you are trying to say, but to help you understand

I am helping the WAMM (West African Motorbike Mappers) who are in Sierra Leone.

Are we talking about Task Manger projects initiated and run by local
project managers or something else?
If we are talking about Task Manger projects then I suggest asking the
project manager(s) to do a write up on their experiences and see if this
can be brought to the attention of OSMWEEKLY. We

I think the London mapperthons expect 30% of their attendees to return. So
unfortunately 50% can be expected to be "disposable" mappers and they don't
search out the information as you do. If we can keep their interest a bit
longer they make fewer mistakes. So one thing might be to see what we c
Hi John,
I have no formal role in HOT, just a casual OSM mapper so all these comments
are from that perspective. I have participated in HOT projects via their
tasking manager. I am also not a coder but am aware of the process involved in
