[HOT] The point on the OSM Response to the DR Congo Nord Kivu Ebola outbreak

[Ralph Aytoun]

Thank you Pierre,

I am also concerned about the quality of the mapping that is tying up projects because it takes up so much validation time. This is counter productive as it would be quicker for the experienced mappers to map them but they are tied up checking and correcting so much.

The entry point to mapping by beginners is mostly with the iD Editor.

What I have been asking about for some time is a building tool in the iD Editor similar to the one in JOSM and your concerns about the quality problems highlights the fact that this new tool has become a matter of urgency. There has been talk about it being in development for over a year now. Can we not divert some funds to get someone to give this their urgent attention and solve many of our validating problems?
