Live mode is more complex to code (and, hence, a potential source of bugs)
by an order of magnitude. Stuff like merging ways and undo is incredibly
convoluted in P1 because of

I only ever use the Live Edit mode.

I suggest different approach to same problem, limt "Live edit" only to
members 3 months old and more.
I don't think that would help: I tried out OSM a few years ago, fixing a
very few bugs and left again.

Hi Nop,
I've been writing some HowTos for beginners as well. Let me know if
these help.

Jukka,
I think the issue about messing up relations is almost the definition of a
'simple editor' - if it needs to do things with relations, it is getting too
complex and a full featured editor should be used instead.
The one I was talking about only lets you change specific tags on nodes or
ways,

I can't really consider this a valid argument. Removing that single question

It sounds like Potlatch 2 with a limited, custom list of presets might be
exactly what I need. I wasn't even aware that it was in any usable state,
but it is probably less dangerous to guide new users to a customized alpha
version than let them loose with Potlach in live mode.

Hi,
I think improving the documentation for new users (and experienced ones
too!) is a really good idea - I think we lack information for the casual new
user.
The disadvantage of directing this group to Potlatch is that they need to
understand quite a few concepts before they can really do anythin
