[HOT] The status of iD in HOT contexts/projects

Hi All,

We didn't run into any major problems in Vietnam, though we were using
the Tasking Manager and mostly kept people from editing in the same
area.

The team in Indonesia recently mentioned a preference from people to
use iD as well. Which is interesting since it isn't currently
available in Indonesian I don't believe. One issue here though is we
frequently use custom presets. Is there any plan for having an ability
like that similar to JOSM? I understand we could fork iD and create
our own version, but the real power is just sending people to OSM.org
and they start editing.

Thanks,

-Kate
