Interesting. We're using 3G keys in Bhaktapur, Nepal. They alternately are 
pretty good and utterly terrible, depending on the time of day and luck of the 
draw. As long as the internet is working at all iD syncs very fast. But I 
understand Limonade is a quite different context.

Subject: Re: [HOT] The status of iD in HOT contexts/projects


At the university of Limonade in Haiti, all the university campus used 3G keys 
to access internet and had to share a more or less 10 gig connection (at bes) 
provided by the tower close to the university. At some points in the day the 
bandwith was significatively reduced.  Students were trying to save JOSM edits 
after every building they traced. And then, for less then 100k edit, it tooks 
minutes for the action to be completed.

Since Will tried later ID in the same context, it would be interesting to see 
how ID reacted with low bandwith.  Will, did you also experiment such internet 
connection problems and then how it was with ID as compared to JOSM?

Because iD discards all of its data on save and reloads new data from the
API if you have your users save frequently it will also get them refreshing
their local data frequently, significantly cutting down on conflicts.

If you're in a limited bandwidth situation I wouldn't worry about the
increased
bandwidth usage because the map data comes compressed and even when loading
a dense urban area only about 25% of the bandwidth is used for map data, the
remainder mainly being used by aerial imagery.
