Personal view only, there are no standards in OSM so both are acceptable.
HOT has guidelines but they are guidelines and given the mixture of people
mapping there is not the same consistency as you might get from civil
servants mapping to standards.
Is there any reason why you can't add them as

site and the Mac OS links?
I run Win 7 and have no experience with Mac OS.

Pete,
I would appreciate the feedback from site visits. It is difficult to know
if the imagery shows buildings or trees, paths or streams.
Hopefully the mapping will make things go faster in the field.

Thank you for testing it.
The grab handle needs to be added, press and hold the right mouse button
then move the mouse.
From the mapper's point of view the building tool is very nice as you say,
marking the settlements then tagging them all once is much faster so you
feel as if you are

Thanks for that - you've got some very good ideas there.
I've created issue https://github.com/hotosm/learnosm/issues/334

Thanks again.

Probably having got them started with JOSM it might be an idea to have a
small series of how to map a to extend it. My thought might be how to
map a tree, its basic but by referencing the map features page of the wiki

The user thinks he has an older version of Mac OS and wondered if it would
even take JAVA 7. I'm sure it will get sorted out in time.

Hey Ahasan,
The best way to sync your census data with OSM would be to have similar
administrative boundaries, they are typically stored as Multipolygons.
There is tons of documentation on how to create accurate boundaries [1].
Any national wide census should start with defining every boundary
Looking at it I would concur that the imagery could be better Also the
expectations are not clear to me, is a generic hut ie CrtlV in JOSM or
do you want the real size of the hut? Some tiles have the imagery listed
in the instructions and some tiles do not.
There seems to be a variety of
Hi Ahasan,
Mapping the buildings as points is not problem. Often I think we are
mapping the building outlines because it looks more visually appealing on a
map than anything else.

Sadly apple and oracle seem to be conspiring to make running java software on
mac quite difficult. Java version 6 may be easier for some mac users, in which
case the link to the older version 7000 of JOSM will work.

I believe I have a more elegant way for mass taggings. For example if I
want to add the roads in a community that hasn't been tagged before;
usually the roads are all highway=residential. Steps:
- I draw all roads, ignoring crossings, not yet adding tags
- I select all drawn lines using
