I fully agree with you. But that means changing the API (to be more precise: the backend of it) and that's nothing that will happen until next week ;-) Some kind of automatic conflict resolution within the editors can only improve this situation slightly, because the editor can't handle the resolution as an atomic action (as the API can) and therefore while the editor is resolving the conflict and uploading again, another change to the relation might already have happened and the conflict-resolution-conflict-cycle begins again. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
