Hi Steve,

Thanks for the detailed JOSM install manual on Mac! This is very helpful
to the participants of our next mapping events. Personally, I do not use
a Mac - just wanted to raise a point, why it might be difficult to use
JOSM in mapathons.

Thanks anyways,
Tim

Tim, I offer you relatively simple steps which work on macOS High Sierra.  You 
might email me off list (if you get stuck), or I'll be brief here.

Install Java Runtime Environment or JDK.  Current is Version 8 Update 161.  
This is figure-out-able:  not hard, though it has steps and takes reasonable, 
but some time.
Download JOSM, the josm-tested.jar version.  Move this (jarfile) into 
Applications folder.
Open Applications/Utilities/Terminal, get a shell.  To start/launch JOSM with 1 
gigabyte of heap space (substitute 2048 for 2 GB...), try:

java -Dsun.java2d.opengl=true -Xmx1024m -jar /Applications/josm-tested.jar

You can put an alias into your .tcshrc file (if you are using out-of-the-box 
tcsh, and on macOS 10.13.3, that's what you get) like this:
alias jt 'java -Dsun.java2d.opengl=true -Xmx2048m -jar 
/Applications/josm-tested.jar

so that every time you log in with that user account, launching JOSM is as 
simple as Open Terminal, type jt return.

Use Safari (current is 11.0.3) on macOS High Sierra as an OSM map browser, 
along with a credentialed OSM account, it smoothly does iD (too).  Though, I 
recommend one or the other and not at the same time, as JOSM together WITH iD 
editing the same geographic area on the same Mac(nine) at the same time can be 
confusing.

If you have older machines, I think I could recommend creaky, hoary old JOSM 
jarfiles all the way back to Snow Leopard 10.6.8, but I truly do not recommend 
this.  Use a machine that will run what the latest JOSM needs (always), 
especially and including the version of Java that JOSM wants/needs.  Older than 
that and you invite OSM data incompatibilities.

Whoops, put a closing quote on the alias (I truncated an apostrophe at the end 
of that line).  And, of course, press return at the end of commands to the 
shell (command line interface).

After this, you can "go get plugins" and configure them as you like.  Now you 
are off and running JOSM on a Mac, I hope.

We experienced the ‘no bbox issue’ using the latest version of Firefox 
(however, it doesn’t work on Chrome either). The bbox in iD is present when 
using Firefox ESR version though. 
Maybe we really should only use JOSM even for mapathons. The installation is a 
bit more challenging (esp. apparently on a Mac) and, of course, there are far 
more options to choose from (and mess up ;-) ). But using the building tool 
plugin only combined with shortcuts A B S and X is IMHO not more complicated

Combination of bringing their own and facilitators from Durham Region using 
their work laptops. To simplify things, we could set up a few facilitators with 
JAVA-installed machines.

So one way would be to teach a subset of JOSM?
I had Carlton mapathon with new mappers do building outlines in JOSM, its very 
simple, fast and accurate a much better tool than iD for building outlines.  
However it does need JAVA on the machine and a few minutes set up.
Question to Jonathon who do the machines belong to?  If its the students own 
then ask them to install JAVA before they come and we can sort out some fairly 
simple instructions.  If they are provided then you may need to check the 
policy on what can be installed.

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Canada/Building_Canada_2020#The_data_that_could_be_mapped

It's a bit understated but adding the type of building terrace, detached
etc and the number of stories is of great interest.  House numbers as well
if not present.

This is all boots on the ground or local knowledge stuff that cannot often
be done from imageryand there isn't a problem with the outlines being drawn
incorrectly.

This is the data that is simplest to map for new mappers and cannot be done
any other way.  The building outlines, well NRcan are looking at making
these available through the Federal government open data portal beside the
work that Stats can is doing.  To me accurate building outlines can be
brought in from Open Data perhaps not this month but in the foreseeable
future.
