[OSM-talk] How to teach novices about optimal changeset size?

[Michał Brzozowski]

Certainly not:
- one changeset per building, repeated 20 times
- one changeset for 3 POIs that are 1000 km apart in different countries

These are real world examples. In the latter Achavi can often refuse to run.

That's also why I asked ;-) It's not that easy to formulate the answer what
is reasonable to include in a changeset.
