I volunteer to test the usability of a restricted iD interface, and to add my two cents to what would have worked for me when I started mapping. A "New to mapping? Click here!" button on the front page of the OSM site taking new mappers to "How to get started" page would be an excellent additio

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 tha

Hi Thomas et al, I've been really interested in the idea of customized editing environments, which was one of the major ideas behind the OSMLoggingRoads project. As althio pointed out, iD does expose custom presets and custom imagery in a really clean, easy way. It's pretty well documented (here
