A few hints to finding these people :
* Don't call it JOSM-NG. JOSM already has a bad name.
* Get people to use it before you invite them to write plugins. That
means limit the scope of the project, but make sure it all actually
works (incl. uploads).

Is it true that JOSM-NG will have a different upload process ? Not at
the end, but while the user was editing ?? If so, I would not consider
it superior because of the added complexity.
