Previously (in <a href="https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk/2013-August/067936.html" target="_blank">https://lists.openstreetmap.<u></u>org/pipermail/talk/2013-<u></u>August/067936.html</a>) I had a quick count-up of new user errors in bits of GB that I'm familiar with for the month before iD became the default editor for most browsers.<br>
<br>
I've done the same again (for the period 20/8/2013 to 13/9/2013), for most of which iD has been<br>
the default editor for most new users.<br>
<br>
P2 iD JOSM Other (Wheelmap / Go Map! / POI+)<br>
Made no newbie errors 15 55 2 4<br>
Made at least one newbie error 20 43 0 4<br>
Made more serious errors 1 3 1 0<br>
<br>
One slight caveat with the numbers is that while it's usually possible to spot typical P2 "newbie errors" such as unjoined roads before they've rendered, it's less easy to do so with some iD errors, such as "not assigning a main tag to something that has been named" or the "accidental orthogonalisation" issue that can result from <a href="https://github.com/systemed/iD/issues/542" target="_blank">https://github.com/systemed/<u></u>iD/issues/542</a>. For example, <a href="http://api06.dev.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/30953" target="_blank">http://api06.dev.<u></u>openstreetmap.org/browse/<u></u>changeset/30953</a> (on the dev server) resulted in <a href="http://api06.dev.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/4295036579" target="_blank">http://api06.dev.<u></u>openstreetmap.org/browse/way/<u></u>4295036579</a>, but until they're rendered such issues are difficult to spot, so iD's "Made at least one newbie error" number may perhaps be slightly higher. I'm sure it's not half as big again though, which it would need to be for iD's new user error rate to be the same as P2's.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
