For those who (like me) needed to remember what this is about:
http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/dev/2009-March/014533.html
Doing this shouldn't be done "in Potlatch". Potlatch is simply the
Flash editing application that appears within the confines of the map
window. The "Edit" tab itself, for example, isn't actually in
Potlatch. :)
Instead, it should be a setting in your user preferences:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/<your_id>/account
using the existing preferences object in Rails.
The setting could be a URL which, if set, would be invoked when you
clicked 'Edit'. (If not set or blank, Potlatch would be invoked as per
usual.) There would be characters that would be replaced with lat,
long and zoom. Something like:
http://myfunkyeditor.com/?lat=$lat&lon=$lon&zoom=$zoom
It's not something that needs to be, or indeed should be, done within
Potlatch the application. So you needn't be asking me to do it - if
nothing else I don't really have the time nor the knowledge of the
user preferences object.
Rather, it should be done within the main Rails port site and any
number of people can do that - or, of course, you can do it yourself.
Failing that, submit a trac ticket.
cheers
Richard
