[OSM-dev] Ordering of Segments within Ways

Hi,

There is a short introduction for these who have ogg/theora installed:

Although implementing features always gets the most applause from users, I
insist to implement the timestamp-checking stuff first ;-). Don't know how
long this will take, but I am also busy doing boring real life stuff these
days.. :-(.

And worst, I will not have a computer during easter holidays, so don't
expect anything until end of next week from me, probably longer... ;-(.

>From the applet?? I doubt that, since the applet just drops the name over
the middle segment (the middle segment in the array)  ;-).


Ciao, Imi.
