Hello Blake, Thanks for those references.  I understand the first one although it does certainly appear daunting. The problem I see is that the long list of attributes/keys/values that are specified for inclusion in the shapefile can go out of date very often as crowd-mappers or new projects inve

Hi there, This is indeed a bug that has been reported in the past for links containing the @ symbol (see https://github.com/hotosm/osm-tasking-manager2/issues/493). I will add your experience to the issue thread, though ideally we shouldn't link to copyrighted maps. Thanks for your notification!

Hi Charlotte, instead of forking a project when you have logged in to GitHub just locate the search bar and search for "iD". This should lead you to the openstreetmap/iD project. Click on that. Now look for a link "Issues". There you will see a list of already reported issues (bugs). Try the

Robert et al, Surely there are other ways to communicte with developers other than Github. Is that the only thing they respond to? I don't think so. Github has an odd-looking interface (to most people), and it's not really clear how to use it, unless you are familiar with it,

Hi Charlotte, The intention of putting issue reporting there is to create information that’s *actionable* for the (primarily Mapbox) folks who maintain and develop iD. That way problems are automatically linked to solutions. As you can tell, I gently disagree with your assessment of github’s
