There's already an android app that does some of that:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.guillaumin.android.osmtracker
I record traces and add notes/markers for various things and take
photos, export it as a gpx, share the trace/photos to google drive, then
download them for use in iD.
Apparently you can customise the buttons to show different things,
haven't tried it yet though.

One thought I've had for a long time (and have probably mentioned in
the past) is a walkers' editor (app rather than web-based). To be
used something like:
User goes for walk and records GPX trace, following this sort of pattern.
Each time the type of right of way changes, the user selects a high
level type ("Public Footpath", "Public Bridleway" etc in the UK)
together with optional surface tags.
User can also enter relevant POIs like stiles, gates etc when they are
encountered.
When user returns home, track simplification algorithm used to make a
way from the GPX trace and tags it with the tags equivalent to the ROW
type.
User downloads data from OSM and algorithms are used to auto-join the
user's new ways to existing ways where appropriate (or alternatively,
the user does this manually)
Would there be any interest in this I wonder?

Probably a side-effect of being more recently created, but I've got
the impression iD is easier to make coded adjustments to & specialised
implementations of (certainly these exist).
That's just another small sales point for iD. But also provides the
argument: if you can't get improvements added, fork it and add them
yourself (could apply to Potlatch too).
Anyway, I use JOSM mainly. I agree with Jerry(SK53) in that we should
be supporting multiple editors and even specialised ones (for
data-types or entry-device).

Apart from other factors a very strong reason for favouring iD
over P2 is that the latter is Flash-based, It therefore has a
degree of in-built obsolescence, and may not be allowed for
security reasons in some organisations.
iD has been the default editor for a number of years now (just
under 3 IIRC), and the bulk of additional code for on-line editors
is added to iD, mainly by MapBox. There have been enhancements to
P2 too, but these are many fewer. So the latter is neither
obsolete, nor in an end-of-life stage. However, when it's end
comes it's likely to be swift as flash gets eliminated by major
browsers.
There's still plenty of space for on-line editors (for instance
one which deals with highways, buildings etc as primitive objects
rather than OSM elements as the current ones do): but whether
anyone is willing to take on the odium of maintaining an OSM
editor is moot.
Furthermore, editors on mobile devices are much less mature, and
there are substantial potential benefits in reducing or even
eliminating the survey-edit-update cycle.

What's wrong with with suggesting users use P2 over iD?
P2 has a few advantages over other editors. The only real
benefit I've noticed in iD is it prevents loading of data if
user is zoomed too far out. Something that Richard Fairhurst
might be able to implement fairly easily into P2.
I'm even less encouraged to use iD after a couple of
conversations with two of the developers (the only two?). They
appear resentful to many of the suggestions for improvement.
From memory Richard F. was a developer in the start up of iD,
Is he still involved?

We spotted them as new users from the bot that reports in
#osm-gb.
They were spread over the country, I assume the lecturer
hasn't updated his notes, the default if you hit the edit
button as a new user is iD.

Hi,
Is anyone aware of any recent OSM press - we've seen a
lot of new OSM mappers in the Midlands in the last 2
days :-)
Also is Potlatch 2 still the default for new mappers
as they all seem to be using that? I though we'd
switched to iD as the default across all browsers now
(although I don't remember where I read that!).
