Hi althio, Hi Suzan, Since I was on holidays for the last 2 weeks my considerations where mostly theoretical.
I ruled out JOSM because users have to download and configure settings. So I settled for webbased editors. From the current established editors that would be potlatch and ID. I wanted that the editor is configurable with an admin interface for each task. Potlatch is configured with a static xml file so you have to run an own instance for each task thats not very comfortable. I dont know if ID can load configurations per task out of a database since I dont have any experience with ID. The vision in the back of my head is something like extjs/geoext/openlayers (Maybe thats not the best solution). But I wanted to start the discussion of a customisable editor first to hear how the response for this idea is and then start a discussion about the best technical solution. @altio: Can you provide more information about how ID is configured? kind regards Tom Am 07.06.2015 um 08:41 schrieb althio: > Hi Thomas, > > I think *most* of your requirements would be met with a specific > instance of iD editor with customised presets (a very reduced set). > >> The avantages of such an editor would be: >> a) No bothering with tags, comments, etc. >> b) Reduction of the chance of duplicates.
