Hi Frederik, Yes I agree that the arm chair mapping isn't the best method of collection. Though in some areas it will be difficult to ever have mappers on the ground without imagery. The cost of a GPS is prohibitive in many places. I've been working with some rural areas in Indonesia and it

I'm not sure I understand why having the ability to link to external data through some sort of ID is such a bad thing. This is common in many APIs and datasets. It is an opportunity to mix data in new ways as well. Frederik also this seems odd to me I'm not a big fan of UUIDs because, again,
