recently we are seeing novice users carefully trace lots of buildings... only to leave them without any tags at all. is there a nice, short howto regarding buildings in potlatch2? preferably with screenshots so that it would be easy to understand for complete newbies. |

not short, not really for "novices", but still for drawing buildings with aerial images in Potlatch2 and with good information and screenshots: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Roof_modelling If novices just look at the "Drawing of simple building outlines" and "Function Make rectangular" parts, that should be sufficient for most cases. Then they just need to add building=yes

The best tutorials in this case are the good examples set by sucessfull mappers such as to one in this area. To learn and study it you/they will have to open an editor of course, or you or someone seeing that their is a need, could write and submit an article to the Wiki to solve the problem. http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=52.216242&lon=-0.066028&zoom=18&layers=M after you have read and used the excellent info pointed to by aseerel4c26 http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Roof_modelling 1
An already added building cannot serve as a step-by-step guide on how to add a building.

Hi Richlv, P2 offers figures in the left side of the screen a simple way of tagging a building, whats the problem ? Okay not much of a choice but usable. Greetz Ps always end youre work completedly by saving it. 2
i am looking for a short, concise howto that has step-by step instructions on how to add their first building in potlatch - something to be provided for newbies. extra points for separate howto on how to find untagged ways that are likely to be buildings, and tag them correctly :)

Probably better to write the how-to for iD which will be the default editor before long.

I don't know of a current tool that finds untagged ways. Both OSM Inspector (http://tools.geofabrik.de/osmi/) and keepright (http://keepright.ipax.at/) flag untagged features, but many are nodes.
