Hello, we are currently building an OpenLayers based editor which I think could make the development of iD simpler. Please have a look at the demo at http://ole.geops.de/ to get an impression of some of the features. The source code for OpenLayers Editor is available as well and we are happy to help with using our code.
Probably the features of OLE that are most interesting for iD in order to avoid reinventing things later are: - Support for areas with holes - Feature splitting and merging - Orthogonal and parallel drawing - Flexible snapping to editable objects and other layers such as WFS services A bit of background: I am working for geOps and our team is building OLE for use within geo-enabled business applications such as Cartaro CMS and applications for administrative bodies. OLE has proven to work well in that setting and might help OSM, too.
