[OHM] JOSM extension suggestions

[SK53]

Hi Jeff,

Just some general queries about how you plan to do this?

   -  Would you create a standalone OHM plugin?
   -  Would the code reside on GitHub? Josm still lives in SVN & the mirror
   Github repo is about 6 months out-of-date
   -  Have you considered the JOSM Scripting
   <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/JOSM/Plugins/Scripting> plugin?
   This might be a way of achieving endpoint toggling w/o touching Jsom core.
   -  Validation has been in Josm core since 2013. What approach would you
   want to use for the validation/missing data flagging?
   -  How would you plan maintenance? I'm always a bit flabbergasted how
   many plugins stop working when I spin up a version which is a few months
   old.

Personally, I'd be hesitant about anything which may require
integration/forking/… with Josm core. Largely because it's enormous and
changes frequently. Being hosted on SVN is also a downside.

I'd probably like something which automatically adds start & end dates as
one creates data (or rather tags data, which is when a true historical
element is created). They'd need to be set by the user for an editing
session.

Regards,

Jerry
