Pierre, This is incredible, we should try this in different places too. How exactly did you manage to get a dozen people to show up for a thing like this?
If they are serious about mapping, JOSM is of course the better choice to teach them. But if you have the feeling they might just edit occasionally, I think it would definitely be worthwhile to show them around in iD too. Especially if they might map at work, only just needing to install Did you show them how to automatically keep their umap up to date? I find this easier to do in MapContrib btw - a very simple example: https://www.mapcontrib.xyz/t/3d3aa1-Wildlife_crossing_map (though umap is working on an easier interface to add overpass layers) Op di 27 nov. 2018 om 22:40 schreef Pierre Parmentier < pierrecparment...@gmail.com>: > Hello, > > The two planned training sessions on the contribution to OSM took place at > EPN (Espace public numérique) in Arlon on 6 and 27 November 2018 from 9.00 > to 16.00 h. > > A dozen people attended each of them.
