[OSM-dev] EDIT-Button on osm-website

[Martin Koppenhoefer]

I wonder if it was possible to link the "EDIT" button on the main
website to a page (or AJAX) with checkbox-choice for the editor:
Potlatch, JOSM (and any other Editor offering a
"remote-call-function"). This would underline the possibility of
alternative editors to newbies as well as offering comodity to
JOSM-users. It would also point out, that Potlatch is not "more
recommended" than JOSM. And it would maybe prevent some problems
connected to Potlatch-Edits (inconsistent and erratous data like
multiple nodes and deleted ways that still appear in Potlatch (in
general errors as result of not using API), insufficient zoom).
