[HOT] JOSM "mini tasking manager" Plugin

[Frans Schutz]

As Laurent Savaete stated, The Markseen plug in does the job already.
When you put the parameters correct you have grip on what area you have 
scanned and still to do.
fi. zooming till 20-30 meters gives enough detail to map, zooming out 
for an overview does not effect the mini map with scanned area.
I always use it when validating large ( or collected small task) squares.
Best regards
