[HOT] #1394 - Kinshasa Floods

[Blake Girardot]

Hi Henning,

I am not really sure why it happens, someone explained it to me this 
way, but someone who knows more about iD would have to confirm it 
because I might not be remembering it correctly:

When you map with iD things are kept locally as you map them. But then 
when you hit "Save" they get uploaded to the server and iD tries to 
download them from the server to display.

So if there is a delay in the osm servers being able to send what you 
just mapped back to the iD editor for some reason (database update 
latency or network issues) iD can not display what you just saved, so it 
looks like it just "disappeared" and then people map it again.

That is my understanding, and it seems to be rare, but it does seem to 
happen I have been told.

Regards,
Blake
