@matkoniecz  I don't like the idea of uploading changes for other users and taking their credits. That is not the idea behind mapathons. I believe you are familiar with the workflow of humanitarian mapping using the Tasking Manager. So when a user locks a task and tries to upload mapped buildings, the next step is marking the task as mapped and locking another one. This workflow is broken by this limit since the mapper shouldn't mark the task as mapped in the Tasking Manager because changes aren't uploaded yet.

Standard workflow of the mapping is to sweep the whole task, map buildings (or other features) and submit the work. In the JOSM training session, a buildings tools plugin and mapathoner plugin is introduced to ensure buildings are squared or rounded and tagged properly. And yes, we are having a JOSM training even for the new mappers. Training session usually looks like a 1 hour live demo by an experienced mapper on how to identify buildings and how to map followed by Q&A and individual mapping.

I’m attaching a file demonstrating a one minute test of the mapping.
