I do, but as you said, alone isn't gone be an easy task, that's why I'll soon 
be proposing this on talk, with the hope to get the help of everyone. I have 
just no ideas if something usefull could get out of this, if that won't just 
turn to chaos, but I guess I'll have to try to find out.

As a starting point, I have cleaned-up 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/API_v0.7 into what I consider ideas for 
development ranging from good to improvable with a good idea behind.
I've also turned it into less technical and, hopefully, understandable to long 
standing non-dev mappers.

However, it is not limited anymore to what people think should go into the 
next API 0.7 version (I think it's even worse when you ask non-techies people 
to find a solution themself) but to something gathering ideas of wishes they 
find usefull for their work as mappers, what they miss more while editing (may 
it be external tools, websites, software or, of course API improvements).

here it is, self-explained :

If anyone here wants to give feedbacks before it goes to talk, please do.
