[HOT] digitization of buildings

[xkomczax at centrum.cz]

I don't know if you know that, but for tracing buildings you can use the buildings_tools plugin. It already draw a rectangle shape and automatically fill it with tag building=yes. More info in the wiki - https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/JOSM/Plugins/BuildingsTools altogether with a link to the short tutorial video

Best,
