be buildings.<br>
<br>
JOSM with the buildings_tool plugin would have the advantage of you can
save the changes to a file and upload them later when an account is
available. This might well be the organiser's account. The downside
would be a few square huts rather than round, the upside would be a new
mapper can map twice as many buildings in the same time period.<br>
<br>
I'd suggest the use of Microsoft's openjdk rather than Oracle JAVA to
avoid any security concerns for work laptops. <br>
<br>
Taking this further, for building mapping you don't really need to be
online. Taking a snapshot of OSM the day before then mapping the next
day will not overlap other mappers 99.99% of the time and there are
scripts that can be used to identify duplicate buildings.<br>
<br>
So set up a small LAN, a preconfigured SSD, run JOSM from LAN share,
cache the image tiles, and you can run a mapathon off line. You might
need to be able to lock a block of tiles for say three days in task
manager but technically that isn't impossible to do.<br>
