[OSM-dev] Add an iD link to the Potlatch no-Flash screen

[Tom MacWright]

This should be conversation over whether we should link to iD or embed it,
not a derail into opinions and feature requests.

As far as linking to iD: I think we should focus on the pull request to
include iD on the site
https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/pull/225 rather than
linking to it in the short-term. The pull request is very close to being
complete.

Kimaido: the presence/absence of an 'advanced mode' has been discussed at
length in the iD tracker

* https://github.com/systemed/iD/issues/759
* https://github.com/systemed/iD/issues/1181
* https://github.com/systemed/iD/issues/1278

In short, we would rather have one UI that works decently for everyone
rather than splintering it into 'easy' and 'advanced' modes. For
super-advanced editing, there will always be JOSM.

iD does handle relations, though it does not support a relations editing UI
at the moment: search for 'relations' in the issue tracker and the commits.
There has been a ton of work on the existing relations support, how it
interacts with pre-existing relations, and plans for simpler interfaces for
editing relations.

Yes: iD has room to grow. But I don't think that the 'a front page editor
must include X feature that I think is important' is a useful criteria. If
you ask whether an editor has been tested, used, deployed, and generally
regarded as safe, iD fits that goal.
