[josm-dev] Relation editor support for north/south and east/west similar to forward/backward

[Martijn van Exel]

Hi Simon and josm-dev (cc my colleague Jonathan) -

Looking into building JOSM support for cardinal directions in member
roles as discussed before, but the codebase is a bit overwhelming and
I don't want to break things. Can you give me some more guidance for
where to look for the classes that would need to be modified? Is it
only the way reversing and relation ordering code or are there more
aspects of JOSM that would need to be considered?

Thanks,
Martijn
