Hi,

I've just been validating part of |http://tasks.hotosm.org/job/453# & 
looked at a square completed by a very new user (few days). Looking at 
their uploads for HOT, they have been using iD, but have not been adding 
any changeset comment. Instead, when marking the square as complete they 
have been adding this info back into OSM Tasking manager.

I've had a very quick play with iD, and when you save your changes using 
it, it asks for a 'Commit Message'.

Looking on LearnOSM, http://learnosm.org/en/beginner/start-osm/ , 
paragraph about saving with iD states "|If you do click Save, you will 
be asked to provide a description of your changes. Then you can click 
"Save" once more, and your additions will be saved to the OSM database!"

I've sent a message to the mapper concerned, but please could this 
section on LearnOSM be reviewed & consideration given to explaining that 
Comment the changeset & Commit Message are the same thing.

Thanks in anticipation
