What's needed is separate files named by country The Dissolve function (Vector Geoprocessing tools) can be used in QGIS for this purpose I think So almost there, but do we need to manually go through the country ways/relations one by one splitting them to layers in JOSM then saving them separate poly files?

Re: [HOT] The status of iD in HOT contexts/projects
So conflicts *are* a problem but not a show stopper so far. The main bummer is that if you have a conflict then all your edits are toast, period. Reload and start over. We have people saving after every single edit of any consequence. Problems occur when people don't follow that advice. We have had a few mysterious error messages pop up that I can't trace. I'll try to document tomorrow for clarity's sake.

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?
