[OSM-talk] MAPS.ME edits - partly sub-standard

[Oleksiy Muzalyev]

Perhaps, there should be only a login with the OSM user name and 
password until the editing interface of Maps.me Editor is improved 
further? So that only people who have an access to JOSM, ID, and other 
desktop editors and have some prior OSM experience can add objects?

I just added a relatively new bicycle parking, which is not present on 
the Bing imagery, with the Maps.me Editor: 
http://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/40142848 . It worked all right. I 
could place it exactly where it is. Actually I am impressed, I will be 
definitely using this functionality. I may improve this edit a bit 
further with the JOSM later as it is a very big covered bicycle parking 
station.

But there was an option to sign in with Facebook credentials for Maps.me 
editing, and it means that people who have no prior experience may be 
editing without any knowledge of name:en, name:ru, and other issues. 
They may write in Chinese logograms, Ukrainian, Russian, Bulgarian, 
Macedonian, Serbian, Ossetian, Montenegrin, etc. Cyrillic script, in 
good faith as absolute majority of people worldwide does not speak 
foreign languages, at least does not speak them well, and use a mother 
tongue in everyday life.

One more wish to developers, - I could not add a tree with Maps.me. I 
looked through the list twice in the app and could not find a pre-set 
for a tree.

With best regards,
Oleksiy
