Bit slow of late after I had a little cycling mishap, but the rendering 
bit is working nicely now (slippy map and styled ways) and I've made a 
start on the editor. The version on dev isn't current but I've posted a 
screenshot of the rendering at:

where you can see Flash lines superimposed over the current 
tile.osm.org renderer.

I do have a first release date in my mind but won't admit to it because 
it'll only slip. :) Yes, some help might be great. I'll look at tidying 
the code up and implementing a bit more editing, then let you know.

Functional ActionScript is really very, very easy if you know 
JavaScript and PHP.
