I'm a Java programmer that is interested in contributing to Open<br>
Street Map. I've already sent an e-mail to the JOSM mailing list, as I<br>
think I would be the most productive there. I did subscribe to this<br>
development mailing list as well, and I wanted to at least make an<br>
introduction. I'm still in the process of learning about OSM and how<br>
it works, but I thought I might list areas I am interested in:<br>
<br>
[1] Parsing and conversion of different geospatial file formats, like<br>
ESRI Shapefiles, Autodesk DXF files, WKT, and GML.<br></blockquote></div><br>I know you said you're a Java programmer, but surely you could devolve yourself to C++ to write an OSM format plugin for ogr2ogr (www.gdal.org)...? It's frequently requested.<br>
