[HOT] Difficulty in communicating with iD users

[Vao Matua]

Thanks Dale & Mikel,

JOSM and iD are just tools, each with their strengths and weaknesses.

I have made thousands of edits with both and demonstrate both when I lead
mapathons, most people choose to edit tasks with JOSM, but many like iD,
the important thing is to coach them to create good data.

If the HOT community can't handle a simple change of moving an ambiguous
term that describes what something is not ("Unclassified") to a term that
better describes what a feature represents on the ground ("Minor road")
then maybe the "Open" in OSM and HOT should be replaced with "Closed"?

It will take a long time to map the third planet from the sun, but we've
made a good start.
