Sounds intriguing, would you care to give a couple of examples where the tag values shown in JOSM are not the ones in the OSM database? Thanks John On 8 March 2016 at 08:47, Paul Norman wrote: > On 2016-03-07 4:53 AM, Mikel Maron wrote: > > People, get a grip. > > There are a lot of cool ideas

I agree, you don’t want to maintain an iD fork.. But it’s probably helpful to think of the “presets" as a plugin. HOT TM can embed the same iD software that OSM and everyone else uses, but with a smaller subset of presets that apply more to the work that HOT does. Thanks, Bryan > On Mar

The problem is consistancy, http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Map_Features and the internal tags differ from what one has to enter in iD. Not everyone has their own personal trainer at a mapperthon, not everyone uses English. It's not just a matter of updating in one place but many many places.

Thanks Dale & Mikel, JOSM and iD are just tools, each with their strengths and weaknesses. I have made thousands of edits with both and demonstrate both when I lead mapathons, most people choose to edit tasks with JOSM, but many like iD, the important thing is to coach them to create good data.

I'm totally against HOT maintaining a fork of ID. It sounds simple enough in the beginning but will be more difficult as time goes on. Updating training materials is a pretty simple thing to do as we should try and refresh them regularly anyway. On Mar 6, 2016 10:55 PM, "Mikel Maron" wrote: > Pe

If you'd need to relearn iD, invest some time in learning JOSM, you'll be glad you did. It's true that it is somewhat more userfriendly to not use British road classifications, but now it becomes harder to make the switch to JOSM, that contributors who become more involved with OSM will invariably

Hi John, I am not really sure what you are asking, but in looking at highway tagging in iD, it appears that iD does not use the same icon label for roads based on the tag values. I had no idea. I assumed there was an "unclassified" road icon in iD as the tag is highway=unclassified, however
