    Hi Gnonthgol

    We are not sure if you accidently misspelled your JOSM plugin
    "continuosPlugin" and its proper name should be "continousDownload" or if
    this was wanted.

    Could you please state me you opinion ?

I have been thinking of this a couple of days. I thought I should e-mail the
list.

For the first it is defenatly not "continous", but it should possibly be
"continuous". English is not my first language and I am bad at spelling in any
language. I should have checked better before putting a misspelled name in the
title.

As far as I see it the most important places it is misspelled is in the plugin
name and in the properties. I have come up with three possible solutions to this:

   1. Leave it misspelled and hope no one will care. (like Roy Fielding)
   2. Run s/ontinuosDownload/ontinuousDownload/g on the project requireing
      everyone to reinstall the plugin loosing their configurations.
   3. Same as 2, but create a temporary plugin with the old name that installes
      the new plugin and copy the configurations over.

I am leaning on 1 or 3.

And by the way, if you want to pull the todo plugin to svn be my guest. It is
probably finished with the initial development so there is no need to keep it in
git, and I don't have access to svn.
