Integration of iD editor

[pantierra]

It shall be considered to integrate the iD editor into the Tasking Manager, this will support inexperienced mappers and improve mappers' workflows.

Related issue on the iD side: openstreetmap/iD#5856

This can be explored to achieve possible features like:

• Shared actions in iD and TM (e.g. marking a task done from the editor)
• Simplify and target the editor for certain mapping purposes (e.g. by using MapRules)
• Make external (meta) data available in iD

It is desired to use the upstream version in iD in the TM and contribute improvements to the main repository, and not maintaining a diverging fork on the TM's side.

Talking with @quincylvania and @bhousel it was proposed to include this iD integration into the this year's Google Summer of Code proposals from OSM.

I just added the Task Manager integration project to the OpenStreetMap GSoC proposal page..

@xamanu I am going to apply for this year's GSoC and propose a project to work on this integration.

The GSoC project has been finished and the created code is being reviewed by @quincylvania. We talked today and lined out the following steps forward:

• Review and merge GSoC code - Tighter integration with task managers like HOT TM and MapRoulette openstreetmap/iD#5856
• Main iD and self-hosted iD (containerized setup) - Basic embedding of iD in TM #1909
• Add iD endpoints for interactions - TBD
• One Login through TM for self-hosted iD - Share login with self-hosted iD #1910
• Sidebars in TM and direct interaction with iD - this issue here

This has been implemented. Many thanks.
