Great idea! If it can have a simple way of visualising multipolygon/boundary type relations and highlighting anomalies in them, it would get a big +1000000 from me.<br>

Hi all,<br>
<br>
Potlatch is five years old and JOSM is over six years old. Scary, isn't it?<br>
<br>
Lots has changed in those five years. Browsers now do natively things that used to require a plugin - indeed, you might not even have the plugin anymore. OSM's changed, too, from a little-known geek project to this behemoth of map data used by millions every day.<br>
<br>
So we need another editor. Not to replace what we have now: Potlatch fulfils the intermediate editor role and JOSM fulfils the advanced editor role very nicely. What we don't have, yet, is a simple, friendly editor as a welcoming way into OSM.<br>
<br>
I thought I'd start writing one.<br>
<br>
So: iD. Pure JavaScript, using the Dojo toolkit (which is really nice).<br>
<br>
It's at a really early stage of development. It doesn't save anything yet, nor do any tagging, nor even let you delete things - that's how early it is. After all, it'll be much better if the collective brains of OSM and elsewhere apply themselves to the challenge, rather than just me sitting in a room in Charlbury.<br>
<br>
Fancy getting involved?<br>
<br>
Here's the project page:<br>

And here's the source:<br>

Throw questions at me (on dev@) or just get started and hack away. Between us we can build something really good.<br>
<br>
cheers<br>
