[OSM-dev] Javascript library for the editing-API (not overpass)

[Viet Nguyen]

For climbing areas that haven't been mapped/tagged in OSM (a lot of them in
the US for example) I don't see it's being the problem.  For existing areas
I would have to convince OSM community to convert nodes to areas, either
using iD, JOSM or my app.  Am I seeing this right?
