Why does JOSM rely on a database-driven wiki at all? It's great that you
use trac and the wiki for project management, but the stuff that JOSM loads
is all relatively static, right? The imagery, presets, styles, and front
page documents all change infrequently and could be served as static files
somewhere so you don't require database actions every time someone starts
JOSM.
