Hi Thomas, Thanks also for your work on this - I am interested in its potential use for future disaster activations where HOT has an influx of new mapping volunteers. Would be useful to improve data quality and also make for an even more pleasant mapping experience for those new to mapping using

Hi, Finally the first prototype of the OSM Task Management is finished. This should provide the backend to manage the database which provides the data for an automatic configurable editor. For me it is important that some volunteers, especially but not necessary from HOT officials ;), have a

Hi Thomas, I'd love to checkout what you've whipped up. Broadly, I'm interested in tools that allow for customizable and easily deployable HOT/OSM editing environments (ran a project beta test with OSMLoggingRoads http://loggingroads.org this spring)--a TM management GUI could be a really

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 addition,

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

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

Hi Stefan, I like the idea too and would like also point to JOSM which can be configured with specific presets, like the one mentioned currently here [1]. The basic idea not to use JOSM is that as much work as possible should be taken from the new users. Like TomNod. Is easy simple and

Hi Thomas I like the idea too and would like also point to JOSM which can be configured with specific presets, like the one mentioned currently here [1]. iD would be even easier to use, but I think its preset can't be changed like in JOSM (right, Tom?). But before releasing such an editor and

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. Because no elements

Josm is powerful editor, but hudreds tagging presets may be confusing. Take a look at josm presets [1]. I set up three, related to three Nepal tasks. You can easily customize as needed. A short josm menu tree speeds up digitizing. [1] http://visualtags.hotosm.org/collections --
