Hi Dale,
I agree 100% that MapGive has done excellent work. The only videos they
have done are these that I know of:
http://mapgive.state.gov/learn-to-map/
And that is the main link I give out when posting on forums or any other
outreach I do. It is how I got started mapping and still think that page
is the best place for people to quickly get a straight forward, careful
and well done introduction to HOT mapping.
Do you know anyone at MapGive? Because, yes, they do excellent work and
if they would be willing to make a few videos that are a little more
advanced and specific to mapping buildings and roads that would be
spectacular.
Please let me know and I will contact them and talk with them about it
if that is ok.
Best wishes,
Blake

MapGive is already done a lot of this, rather well I might add. Can't we
support them and suggest new videos to create.

Last year on the learning WG, we discussed about making videos
tutorials but it did not go further.
This discussion on video tutorials brings in a few questions.
For buildings, the best practice is to use JOSM. We should first
make videos for JOSM and I dont think that we should favor people
using ID for example until a building plugin is provided.
In videos, it is important that Texts on the menu bar be readable.
A Text section that describes action, key pressed for a specific
function, facilitates learning. For example :
- shortkey s Select features
- shortkey a Draw nodes and lines
- shortkey b Buildings
- shortkey x Surface making
I have seen various Tutorials with a detailed Table of contents and
short videos for each task, a few minutes maximum. I think that this
is the best approach. I wonder how verbose we should be.
A platform that facilitates translations should be used.

I intend to re-do this how-to I made in answer to a question on this
list a little while back:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=042TbopS7HM
It was done without much preparation and to answer some specific
questions so it needs some adjustments (and I make a mistake in mapping
if you look closely), but I think it is close to what you are talking
about for a quick description of mapping buildings.
It also uses iD as that is what the person who asked the question used
and it is what most new mappers will be using.
There should be one like it for JOSM as well which I will do.
I will also do a second one about roads in each editor.
Regards,
Blake
