iD - friendly JavaScript editor for OpenHistoricalMap

This is OpenHistoricalMap’s fork of iD, OpenStreetMap’s beginner-friendly browser-based editor. We’ve customized this fork to facilitate mapping dates and sources according to OHM’s tagging conventions and tracing off of archived aerial imagery.

Basics

• iD is a JavaScript OpenHistoricalMap editor forked from OpenStreetMap’s editor.
• It's intentionally simple. It lets you do the most basic tasks while not breaking other people's data.
• It supports all popular modern desktop browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera, and Edge.
• Data is rendered with d3.js.

Participate!

• Read the project Code of Conduct and remember to be nice to one another.
• Read up on Contributing and the code style of iD.
• See open issues in the issue tracker if you're looking for something to do.
• Translate!
• Test a prerelease version of the staging branch
