I'd personally be happy to see this sort of thing on a trac 'enhancement' ticket. How are we going to differentiate the new page from the tasks listed on developer [1], the numerous tickets in Trac (which is a mess), wiki improvements [2] and the variuos other places that suggestions hide in on the wiki?

I would find it very useful to have a place to register suggestions that are not necessary tangible trac-type ones.<br>For instance, I find it constantly frustrating not knowing whether individual nodes (when looking at data in JOSM)are tagged with an attribute or not - ie useful data or stray data. It would be so useful to have the nodes WITH an attribute showing up as some different symbol/style to those that are just part of a segment/way. Presumably it would be easy to interrogate the database to know that and thus use a different symbol (sorry beyond me to do).
<br>PS: If I am off target and should make this a trac entry just say and I will do so.<br>Other wish-list things that occur are: wanting to be able to save visible window as SVG file (or indeed other formats) to export to Inkscape for custom map enhancement. Currently - and with the excellent new larger fit-to-browser-window viewing pane it is even more complicated - you have to scale, get URL, paste to JOSM, save from JOSM, and run a renderer on the resulting file to get your SVG file.
<br>Sorry, but this is a long-winded YES to wish-list page on wiki.<br><br>Cheers<br>STEVE<br><br>Steve Chilton, Learning Support Fellow<br>Learning and Technical Support Unit Manager<br>School of Health and Social Sciences
