[josm-dev] JOSM @ OLOH

[Frederik Ramm]

Hi,

    it may amuse JOSM developers to read Jochen Topf's blog article,

 
http://blog.jochentopf.com/2012-09-21-making-it-easier-to-add-data-to-openstreetmap.html

which was written in response to the news that MapBox have received half 
a million dollars in funding and are planning to improve OSM's usability.

Jochen remarks: "Ohloh estimates the cost for developing JOSM, the most 
powerful OSM editor we currently have, at about 10 million dollars. 
Suddenly the half million does look small :-)"

The numbers are of course to be taken with a grain of salt, and 
available for your inspection here:

Bye
Frederik
