I have disabled adobe flash, and done some testing with gnash for the past days.<br>it turns out the potlach is usable. there are some issues that I have reported here, more to test.<br><a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_FLOSS/PotlatchGnash">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_FLOSS/PotlatchGnash</a><br>
<br>Today, I tested in on my fresh rails import <a href="http://xhema.flossk.org:3000/">http://xhema.flossk.org:3000/</a><br>and it runs perfectly when no data is in there. <br>so it seems to be an issue of the amount of data that causes the mouse to lag.<br>
this can surly be optimized.<br><br>mike<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Mar 12, 2010 at 8:53 PM, Stefan Monnier <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:monnier@iro.umontreal.ca">monnier@iro.umontreal.ca</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Agreed. I use gnash on all my machines nowadays, and while I can't say<br>
that it works for everything, it does work well enough that even my wife<br>
didn't ask me to (re)install Adobe's version.<br>
Note that there are also non-embeeded systems and non-smartphones on<br>
which Adobe's Flash is not available (non-x86 systems running<br>
GNU/Linux, like PowerPC macs, some netbooks and nettops, ...)<br>
<br>
The rumor said that when gnash-0.8.4 came out (or was it 0.8.6?),<br>
someone had Potlatch working with it. But I never managed to make<br>
it work. Currently, when I click the "edit" tab, Potlatch comes ou with<br>
some icons at the bottom, a "pen cursor" thingy, and the middle of<br>
screen gives me a macosx-style hourclock saying "Please wait - loading<br>
presets" and the hourclock keeps spinning eternally.<br>

I'm pretty sure that Potlatch can be made to work on Gnash, if only the<br>
Gnash and Potlatch people got together and took it as an important goal.<br>
As it stands, Potlatch developpers do not seem very motivated and prefer<br>
to tie their hands a bit tighter with more proprietary technology, sadly.<br>
