It's been happening since Potlatch 1 came online in 2007, so you should have had a few years to get used to it by now... Writing software is an art, not a mechanical Turk where results of endless consultations are fed robotically into a Javascript editor. The iD developers are remarkably responsive to concerns raised about mapping standards, much more than I ever was as P1/P2 maintainer and, dare I say it, more than JOSM's maintainers have historically been. That they don't mindlessly follow bad tagging practices, but think about the impact and consistency of tagging, is all to their credit. I don't follow that iD has any particular status because of its default location on the edit tab: JOSM arguably has more "heft" because its bulk editing abilities allow people to impose new tags by force of number, not to mention you 'orrible lot forever bombarding the poor newbie to use JOSM or else. ;) cheers Richard -- Sent from: http://gis.19327.n8.nabble.com/General-Discussion-f5171242.html _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
