We've been nagging iD developers for months, if not years, about this now. I thought it was resolved a few months back, but apparently not.
Why is it necessary to make it so complicated to draw a building that doesn't get uploaded as area=yes in iD? Why not simply default to building=yes or warn about the error and give mappers the chance to convert all their newly mapped area=yes to building=yes, preferably in one swift go? No, the validators need to stumble upon it, then tell the mappers on a one to one basis about the proper way to map. My personal preference is to suggest that other editor out there, where you can draw rectangular buildings with just 3 mouse clicks. But that one is considered way too complicated to get going with. So let's not use that. Polyglot 2016-10-09 20:27 GMT+02:00 john whelan <jwhelan0...@gmail.com>: > If you look at parts of Africa in particular there are too many to send > out individual emails.
