Thanks Henrik, those videos look very comprehensive. I will patiently
follow them. Unfortunately I have to stop working today because I am to
travel from France to Glasgow by car(hopefully with
JOSM+livegps+surveyor on my eeepc running Ubuntu netbook remix).  The
reason for my interest in the development is that that combination gives
many errors of bug #2480, (duplicates #2725 #3238 #3457#1662) if I leave
the viewing pane open, which I would like to have a go at fixing.
Thankyou very much for responding to my request, Ray
