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

[Pierre Béland]

At the university of Limonade in Haiti, all the university campus 
used 3G keys to access internet and had to share a more or less 10 gig 
connection (at bes) provided by the tower close to the university. At 
some points in the day the bandwith was significatively reduced.  
Students were trying to save JOSM edits after every building they 
traced. And then, for less then 100k edit, it tooks minutes for the 
action to be completed.

Since Will tried later ID in the same 
context, it would be interesting to see how ID reacted with low 
bandwith.  Will, did you also experiment such internet connection 
problems and then how it was with ID as compared to JOSM?

Because iD discards all of its data on save and reloads new data from the 
API if you have your users save frequently it will also get them refreshing
their local data frequently, significantly cutting down on conflicts.

If you're in a limited bandwidth situation I wouldn't worry about the
increased
bandwidth usage because the map data comes compressed and even when loading 
a dense urban area only about 25% of the bandwidth is used for map data, the
remainder mainly being used by aerial imagery.
